Trouble with Text Block in Microlearning
Hey there fellow e-Learning Heroes. I'm working on a microlearning course in Articulate Rise, and am experiencing an issue with a text block that has me just about ready to bang my head on the nearest wall.
I have a text block with a heading and body text that's attached to an accordion block. Everything looks fine until I go into preview mode, where the text block has a lot of extra space at the top. See attached.
Any clue on how to fix this? It's almost like there are two text blocks on top of each other. The issue is only with accordion blocks. It goes away whenever I attach the text block to another kind of interactive block.

Okay, so I figured out what the issue is - it's the image I'm using for the background in the accordion block! For some reason it distorts the attached text block above it. This happens even when I set the background of the accordion block to Rise's default image.
The image I used was not 16:9, so I tried using 16:9 and 1:1 versions to no avail. Guess I'll just not have an image background for this element.
It's hard to tell what you were trying to get it to look like, but I've noticed when you connect two blocks in microlearning they definitely don't share a background- so background images have odd results. I believe it's the same issue being reported in this thread-
Problem With "Image as Background" Option [Microlearning] | Articulate - CommunityI was wanting to make it look like this but with an image in the background of the accordion element instead of a plain white background. It's fine how it is though.
Thanks I think I understand now- so using a background image is what causes the odd spacing? That is... odd.
