Text Entry Field is cutting off half the text
Hi I am having issues with a text entry field. It shows differently on the Preview mode. It cuts off half the text. This is how it shows in design mode.
However, when I preview it it shows like this.
I would like it just to show Line 1 in full and when it overlaps into a new line it shows line 2. The current format of the text entry box is Vertical Alignment: Top Multiline - checked. It's even worse when I amend the vertical alignment to middle. The text box size is 320 px wide and 20px in height.
Please can someone offer some guidance how to amend this.
Hi OnboardingTeam take a look at any margins you might have set on the text input field.
Hi OnboardingTeam!
Glad to see Sam has been helping you!
I can confirm we have this behavior logged as a bug in Storyline 360. This bug causes Text Entry field margins to become misaligned when previewed or published. I've linked this discussion to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is in place. In the meantime, as a workaround, we suggest:
- If possible, increase the height and width of the Text Entry field or the font size, to compensate for the difference in the margin when previewed or published.
Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry if this has been slowing you down!
Hi StevenBenassi it would be great if we, Storyline users, had visibility over the current bugs that have been acknowledged and tracked just so we don't waste time trying to figure things out with trial and error.
A page containing a list of known bugs could be referred to and referenced in response to users if their issue is related to a bug.
This transparency would be great.
Hi SamHill,
Thanks so much for sharing how helpful a list of known bugs would be for users. I understand it can be frustrating trying to solve an issue, only to find out it's a bug we're already tracking. We'll let you know if this is something that will be made available!
