Question

Icon appearing in runtime view of a text caption

I am using CP2017 (10.0.0.192) and have a text caption with a list of 10 variables. The lesson developers use an Advanced Action to populate as many of these variables as needed, usually only few. The remainder are set to a blank. At runtime (Preview - HTLM 5) we are seeing the following icon in the upper right corner of the text field:

Can anybody tell me what this is and what are (or are not) doing to have this display?

I found the problem!

There was a "stray" variable in the upper text caption that was several lines down from view. I had expanded the box to the right edge and down to just above my navigation buttons and the little box (icon) disappeared but the stray text show up!  Cleared all that up, reset the text caption area back to its original size and the icon is now gone!!

Thanks so much for your help Lilybiri and Ron! I appreciate you both monitoring the questions we pose and the insights you provide.

Lilybiri, if you can still answer my question about converting my template to a cptx I would greatly appreciate that, I'd like to know if I do that will our development be less buggy going forward.

I tried to answer that question in my previous answer. you can only create a cptx from that template, there is no other way to convert a template into a cptx file.

Take a look at my video on this topic and see if it helps you setup your text container so that it doesn't appear if you don't want it.

You are creatting a responsive project with the Fluid Bxes work flow. That icon means that the tect cannot be displayed in the text container anymore due to the setup. When clickinb that button the whole text will apear in a popup window.. With inserted variables it is not easy to estimate the space needed on runtime.

I am not using fluid boxes, however, I did suspect it was an "text overflow" problem of some sort. Thanks for your reply!

Do you mean that this is a non-responsive project?
