Marketo email editor doesn't show longer headings correctly

Hello,

 

When I have longer headings in my email like:

 

<h1>Heading line Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.</h1>

 

the Editor(editor only, when I click Save everything is fine) shows the text like this:

 

It looks like the line-height is small and the text is overlapping. I tried to add this CSS in the email template, but it didn't work.

 

body.mce-content-body { line-height: normal !important; }

 

Is there a way to fix this?

 

Thanks.

Are you able to provide a shot of the HTML inside that editable area (click into the HTML toolbar icon)? 

To my eye, it looks like you might have copied in some CSS from a source somewhere else and pasted that into the Rich Text Editor by accident. Sometimes when you copy info from a website, Google Doc or Word Doc, etc - the underlying CSS is picked up and Marketo tries to do you a solid by interpreting and rendering that CSS when you paste the text into the WYSIWYG editor (rather than into the HTML/code view -or- use the "paste as plain text" command). 

 

There's usually a string of style="" that are about 4-5 lines long in the editor if you've run into something like, maybe best to check there and remove any style="...." attributes that you didn't add yourself.  In email, this might be included in a <span></span> tag around your text or it might show up on the element (<h3>) like in the example below.

In the screenshot below, I copied some text from another section on the page by highlighting it, right clicking and choosing "copy" from the dialog box. Then I went into another editable area, clicked into, then pasted my clipboard into the Rich Text Editor (WYSIWYG - shown in the background behind the HTML Source Editor in the image). From there I clicked into the HTML icon in the toolbar to see HTML Source Editor window so that I could see the underlying issue in the code. 

Removing everything highlighted in gray here will remove the junk styles and restore the element to it's original state.

    Hey did you try giving up numbers instead of normal as per below.

    line-height: 10px!important;

    Also, try to give CSS inline too in landing page only while editing HTML.
