Variable text incomplete

I have a help button at the top of all my pages (created on slide 1 and then timing set to Rest of Project). In the rollover state I have a text box which I want to display two variables, the learner's name, and different help text depending on which page the user is on. I'm using advanced actions to update this second help text variable whenever it needs to change. The issue is that even though the box is large enough, it never displays all the text.

Here is the rollover state which includes a text caption of both variables.

Here are the two different outputs which cut off both assistantMessage variables. Any suggestions on why this would be happening? I'm using Captivate 2019. Thanks!

The default variable display length is 50 characters. Change the Maximum length to the number of characters needed (max 250, I believe). This length setting is only available when inserting a variable, however, so you will probably have to delete your variable placeholders from the text boxes and re-insert them.
