    Hi, everyone!

    I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 76, we’ve included important fixes and new features!

    One enhancement we’ve included:

    Data-entry fields wrap text to multiple lines based on the “wrap text” option rather than the height of the field. You no longer need to make the height more than 60 pixels.

    To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let me know if you need additional help!

Hi Karel,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry that you ran into a bug where a text entry box with a height less than 60 px doesn't wrap and shows text centered vertically. We have reported it to our team, and continue to keep an eye on it to evaluate how many customers are impacted and what impact it has on courses.
 
If you'd like some help with this bug and see if a workaround is possible, feel free to share that specific slide with our support engineers, and they can take a closer look.

    Hello Ren, I am doing a project in which my text entry boxes are 50px in height. Unfortunately I can't make these any bigger and so have reduced text size to ensure that there is room for 3 lines of text. However I am running into the issue that you have mentioned above. Are you able to help with this? (do I need to submit a ticket or is there a workaround?)

    Thanks , Jo
