    Hi stormingrobots,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Could you share the URL of the form in question so we can take a closer look? You can easily find your form's URL in Form Builder. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Publish.
    2. In the Quick Share tab, click on Copy Link in the Share With Link section.

    form 261553459784167

    It is getting really bad. When I click on a field, the tag name has always just shown up in the Advanced Designer editor window. From time to time, it simply does not . Now, when I exit out the Advanced Designer, it removes my entire custom css. Thank goodness that I have a backup.

    Hi stormingrobots,

    I checked the form you shared and I don't see any issues with the Rising Grade field. The text entered stays within the input field and does not extend beyond it. See the screenshot below.

    The CSS you added are also being saved correctly on the form. See the screenshot below.

    Can you explain a bit more about the issue so I can get a clearer idea of what’s happening?

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.
