Text shadow in Selected State
In Storyline, creating a question template slide, pick 1, three choices. There is no formatting applied to any of the states on any of the text boxes for the choices. But suddenly, when I select one of the choices, a shadow appears on the text. I did not change anything about the text, there is no text shadow applied, nor is there one applied to the text box. This started happening yesterday, shadow on 1 of the 3 choices. I updated Storyline. Still appears. I created a new slide, still appears, but on all 3 choices. This morning I created a new file from blank slide, each choice was created independently - no copy/paste. Worked for maybe 10 previews. Went to a meeting. Did a preview, shadows on all 3 choices. I don't know how they appear and I don't know how to get rid of them.

Hello!
In Storyline, the text shadow appearing on selected choices is not due to formatting but a rendering glitch in the HTML5 player. The standard states don’t show shadows, yet the preview sometimes applies them automatically. It usually affects the preview and may not appear in the published output. The workaround is to rebuild the choice objects, check the Selected/Visited states, or add a custom style, and if the issue persists, report it to Articulate Support for a fix.
