Text position in box

I can't say when it started, but Storyline is behaving weirdly with text in a form or a text box. See the attached screenshot. 

The left text is in a rectangle I filled with white. No matter what I change in the settings, I cannot get the text any closer to the top edge of the shape. 

The right example is a text box that I filled white as well. The text pushes out of the box on top and no matter what alignment I choose, it does not want to stay within the boundaries or the box. If I extend its size to the bottom, the text moves down, but I then have a text box thats twice as tall as the text within it. 

On both the formating is set to zero pixels distance to the edges. 

I cannot find a way to make this work and I never had an issue like that in the past.

    Nope, no line returns. Just those two numbers. Though the behaviour is what I'd expect if there was one.

      Hi Niels,

      Happy to help!

      I suspect that this may have something to do with the font that's in use or some other formatting element since I was unable to replicate the behavior on a new Storyline 360 project file using the default text format. 

      The shape that I used in the screenshot is a rectangle with a white fill. Have you tried using a standard font like Arial to see if this changes the behavior? If using standard fonts doesn't work for you, would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a closer look at what's happening? We'll delete it when we're done testing!

        Hi Jose, I think you are right. I needed to simulate a pixel font and used Minecraftia as a font. Switching to a different font did indeed make a difference.
