"Left align" sometimes does not work.

Hi there, Rebecca.  Thanks for providing your examples!  We are working on both of these areas that are exhibiting the left alignment issues.  I'll be sure to update you here with any news of a fix!

Tell me a little more about feeling limited in the amount of feedback you can view in mobile preview.  I created a mock-up, and I was able to scroll through a lengthy bit of feedback in a knowledge check block during mobile phone preview. 

If you give me some detail about the feedback you're including, I'll try to reproduce that behavior on my end.

Honestly I did not think to try scrolling in mobile view. The text is just truncated and it did not occur to me to try scrolling! That is probably the issue. Thanks Crystal!

Any updates on the Left Align issue? Having trouble left aligning text on flashcards.

Hey, Michael.  Thanks for checking in.  We're still investigating this issue currently.

We found that if you have at least 3 flashcards, the text aligns to the left properly.  Are you working with 2 or less, by any chance? 

We want it to function no matter the number, but I'd like to get your experience to make sure that condition applied to everyone.  Thanks!

In this case I am working with two flash cards and I was able to get it working... by mistake. I have no idea what I did, but there is some really weird interactions.

Sometimes character count, character size, bolding the text, or the amount of lines has magically right aligned the text.

I attached a strange example (for testing purposes) - where I have 4 lines (the fourth line is a hard return) on each card. Both are set to right align and yet... This is the result.

If I add one more character to the first flash card it will right align.

If I remove one character from the second card all of the text will center.

Thanks so much for that example, Michael. I'll be sure to add those details to our report and get it in the hands of our product team. 

I'm having this issue as well. I have two flashcards. Both cards have images on the front and text on the back. The text aligns left without a problem on the first card but aligns center on the second card, even though left justify is selected. If I add a third card, I do not have the problem.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for reaching out here. This is the same behavior our team has seen, that any less than 3 cards causes these alignment issues. 

We'll keep you posted here as our team continues to look into it. 

Hi Andrea

Any update on this issue please. I'm using more than 3 cards but still have this problem:

- on a stack of 9, the 4th card has the problem; and

- on a stack of 4, all the cards have the problem.

But no problem with a stack of 6.

All very strange.

Sorry Ashley, not Andrea.

Hey there, Jacqueline! Thanks for checking in on the alignment issue. I don't have an update as of yet – you're in the right place, as we'll post all updates here once we have them ☺️

Additionally, thanks for sharing that extra detail – that is really strange! Do you notice any trends on the cards that align correctly? l'll be standing by! 

Hi Katie

I think it's the number of lines on the card:

- up to 3 lines: it centres.

- 4 lines and above: it aligns left.

Same thing whether it's grid or stackable.

Hmm that's not it.

Thanks for sharing those screenshots, Jacqueline! Yowza, I can reproduce the same behavior on my side and have attached these findings to the bug's report.

Thanks again for bringing this detail to our attention! We'll keep you posted on its progress – and here's some detail about how we tackle bugs!

Hi everyone! 

As Katie mentioned above, we want to be sure to keep you updated!

You'll be happy to know that we have an update to Rise today:

Enhanced: Text in flashcard blocks can now be left-aligned.

In fact, there are now five alignment options for text throughout Rise: left, center, right, justify, and a new option to return to the default alignment for the selected text. Learn more.

There's nothing to install. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export a Rise course again to update existing published output with a new feature or bug fix. 

All the details on our Rise updates can be found here.
