Hello everyone.

I'm adding a textbox to a contract I'm trying to fill out and when i try to resize the text to fit along the according lines it doesn't let me. The selected text box only lets me move it around but does not let me resize it using the expanded arrows on the corners. its like the text box has a fixed size.

Is there a fix to this?

Hello @Gviscal  ,

Welcome to the Docusign Community and thank you for posting your concerns!

If the issue is also happening in other browsers and devices I recommend you create a support case.

I also would like to mention that it might be due to a backend setting not being enabled which could be because of your plan, a support agent can help to determine if that is the case or if the it is supported on your plan.

Let us know if you need further assistance with this.


Best regards,

Hello, 

This issue occurs for me as well, as of October 7, 2024. This seems like a glaring bug, and I’m a bit surprised it hasn’t been resolved yet. It happens on multiple browsers and across envelopes. I would think being able to manipulate the field that is probably the third most used (After Signatures and Initials)  would be a pretty big issue …

Has anyone been able to fix this? This is still happening on December 3, 2024.

Ok, not sure if anyone was using an iPad Pro like myself but that was the issue for me. I had to use my Desktop and now I am able to change the size of the text box while editing my template.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue??  I’ve already reset cookies and site data and tried multiple browsers, but nothing seems to work.

I have also tried multiple browsers and nothing is working since I got online last week. I was able to resize text boxes when I had my free trial, but now that I’m paying I can’t even do what I need. It makes it so that I am completely unable to use Docusign. I’m surprised Docusign has not taken more responsibility to look into this yet. I will have to try it on my PC when I get home, maybe it doesn’t like my Macbook? I briefly encountered some kind of glitch where I DID get a re-sizable text box, but then I couldn’t move (click & drag) it! I could only re-size it. I will mess with some more settings and see if I can’t discover anything.
