Description thebookwyrms 2025-10-13 23:58:15 UTC
Description:
A powerpoint was made as a template and provided to user; when they typed a long URL into the text box the clicked out and back in again, it turns grey and shrinks but when they go to type again, the cursor appears in the middle of the URL but the new text appears below it.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open MS Powerpoint (.pptx ) with premade textboxes
Copy and paste in URL
Press enter to add next line of text
Start typing

Actual Results:
URL shrinks and highlights gray and cursor drops down a line showing within URL but the text appears below it. When the URL is doubleclicked to highlight it, the URL expands straight across the PPT slide instead of wrapping within the text box

Expected Results:
Visual appearances of text location should correlate to where user clicks to start next line of text


Reproducible: Always
