Textbox Property - Do Not Autofit does not seem to be working
In my story I am populating a textbox by using a reference to a variable. As I populate the variable, it automatically transfers the string data into a textbox.
The textbox property is DO NOT AUTOFIT. And Wrap text is also deselected.
The problem: I can type an endless number of (string) characters and the textbox keeps shrinking the font size of the characters once the initial set of characters reach the end of text box.
What setting am I missing that restricts the number of (String) characters that can be entered, and/or limits it to the size of the textbox.
Thank You...
Hi Allyson,
I'm glad that you were able to figure out a solution that would work for you - and welcome to the Heroes community! If you need anything else just let us know!
Hi all,
Does removing the ability of Storyline to autofit text have any ill sizing effects if the learner is viewing on a mobile or on a tablet?

Hi Amar!
This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure that Allyson is still subscribed. Would you be able to share some additional details about the issue you are having and perhaps your .story file for us to take a look?
Hmmm, this is 4 years old and it's still happening in 360 using a textbox. Workaround still works...
Hi Ron,
I'm sorry you've run into any issues, but I'd love to help. Can you tell me a bit more about what you're running into? Are you using text boxes, text entry boxes, or variable references? What have you set as the text box properties for your box? What is occurring when you preview/publish the file?
Even a sample .story file shared here will help us troubleshoot!
My "Format Shape doesn't have those options anymore??
Hi Gerald,
Thanks for popping in to share what you are seeing in your format shape options. It looks like you've enabled text auto-fit improvements, so these are the settings available.
You can read more about this setting here.
OK, so how do I Undo the "improvements"?
Hi Gerald,
No need to undo them. We recommend using the add scroll bar feature for your learners for any overflow text.
We don't want the users to have to scroll. Most of them won't and will miss much of the content. How can I get that option back?
