[ARCHIVED] Assignment is Cut off and students can't read entire message

[sharmsen]

I have created an assignment but the student can only see the first 2-3 lines. 

Assignment

If they can't read the entire thing, how can they do the assignment?

What students see

That is very odd.  Have you viewed the assignment as a student?  Does it give the same error?  If it doesn't, it is mostly likely an issue with the students' device or browser?  I would suggest to the student to try a different web browser, clear the browsers cache, and/or restart.  

If it does show the same for you in Student view. I wonder if something funky is happening with your HTML.  I you notice, there is a sentence missing in the middle of the paragraph as well, between VOCAB and "Use this order..."  I would take a look at the HTML, If you're not comfortable in looking at HTML, I would highlight all the text and choose the clear formatting tool.  Or, try copy/pasting the text into a text editor like NotePad or Text Edit.  Then paste it back.  That sometimes clears things up. 

See the "Remove Text Formatting" section on this guide.

I copied into Notepad and pasted it back into Canvas and it worked.

Thanks

You're welcome!  I've had many issues such as this with the Rich Content Editor and HTML funkiness.  I'm not sure if this was the case, but If pasting content from another source, especially from another webpage, it's a good practice to use "Paste as plain text"  when pasting.  (Right click to see this) It only pastes the text and removes any formatting that might accidently come with it from the previous source.
