Text Shrinks when Variable Used

Hi,

In Storyline, when the text box has a variable to display and the text box is smaller than the actual text it's supposed to show in real time, the text is resized to fit the box. This results in a disaster :)

Basically, the text box ignores the Do not autofit setting if the text box is smaller AND the content is a variable. Any workaround or fix on this? Storyline 360. The beauty of Storyline is using variables, so we don't have to create hundreds of slides, so this is pretty important. Anyone had success tackling this?

Thanks,

Zsolt

    Hi Martin, try setting the text box to be a fixed height. That helped me, although the paragraph spacing is larger than it should be. 

    Also, single line spacing helps to fix the issue too.
