Buggy - Locking up & Unreliable
Captivate locks up frequently on me. Most recently, it locked up during save. When I went back into the program, it no longer had my project listed. The appropriate file within my documents opens captivate, but locks it up with the eternal wait circle. My project at this point seems non-retrievable and will need to be redone. I have to force quit the program. I am running Windows 10 Pro.

Allow customization of checkmark inside selected checkboxes
I appreciate that I can customize the fill color of a selected checkbox, but I cannot change the color of the checkmark that appears. In the uploaded example image, I made the fill for the box dark green to match branding, but I cannot make the checkmark appear white or light grey to make it visible on the dark fill color.

Add 360 image/video support to the new Captivate
360 image/video capabilities have become increasingly more important for me to create 360 tour walkthroughs for team members that are not near physical locations. It is the next best thing to being there.

Localisation quiz
There has not been any improvement to the localisation of quiz and score slides, on the contrary. Translation of the Default labels still has to be done manually which is weird for a new app in this world of AI. Moreover since you cannot export the Preferences, Default labels anymore, you have to repeat that translation for each project.
The Press 'Y' in the second step of the submit process should also be translated automatically when creating a project in another language than the language of Captivate.
In a modern application I would expect a choice for the project language…1 vote -
Keep Classic & Call this Something Else
I've been using this software since 2006 and I'm in shock at how many critical features are missing in this version of the software. I'm not even sure how you can call this Captivate. Providing feedback here is is basically adding to the list of features we need that were already available in the Classic version. We need software that is not focused on responsive design. Keep Classic and call this something else.

Bug - Simulation input field in timeline but not visible on slide
Input field not accessible on the screen after closing/opening project. I can access via the timeline but cannot select it/move it on the screen. Shows on output when previewing.

Timeline/Simulations - Show/Hide objects on slide
When working on slides with multiple components (mostly for software simulations), it's helpful to be able to show/hide components on the slide. This is not referencing show/hiding on output. I see that option is available.

Multiple failure captions
Give back the multiple Failure captions for questions with multiple attempts. It used to be 3 in all older versions, but I wouldn't mind more than 3.
Since the captions are now states in a multistate object. But is impossible to add states to this object and even if that was possible, there is no way to address that object with an interaction, since it is an embedded object without ID.
Look at this workflow which I recently demonstrated for a user. The workflow with the failure captions works also in a responsive project with Fluid Boxes, but not in…1 vote -
Don't gray-out buttons when not disabled
When a UI button has grayed-out text, the assumption is that the button is disabled and not able to be clicked. The states button is grayed out by default and yet it's still clickable. This does not conform to the expected use of this UI design. Don't gray out a button that is clickable.

Review Quiz: why dimming?
When reviewing the quiz, the answers remain dimmed like they are after submitting. Not very friendly for older eyes: light grey on a white background. If you use images as answers, a state is applied to them during Review, state which is not editable because I cannot even figure out which one it is. It looks like the original Hover state, but - since disable has no effect for that state - I always make it identical to the Normal state. Where is the state visibble in the Review mode?

Click and holding playhead
Part of my workflow in Cp11 was clicking and holding on the playhead to preview slide audio from that point on the timeline. I would love if this feature returned. It was very useful when working on the timing of objects on the timeline.

Hover state Image on quiz slide
Great that you can use images as answers. But something is wrong with the Hover state of those images. I dsiabled that state but it appears automatically after selection of an answer and submitting that answer, even if not hovering over the image. Even i manage to change the colors of the Hover state to be the same as in the Default state, the original Hover state will appear after submitting.

Deleting second step Submit Process
The only way to get rid of the feedback messages, a question I often get all over social media, is a clumsy workaround (will post a blog post and add the link here). To achieve this for a complete quiz, you can take out the Default labels, and set the system colors for Success and 'Error' (why do you use that term is a mystery) in the Theme to 0%. But... contrary to previous versions where taking out the feedback messages resulted in getting rid of the second step of the Submit process (click on slide or Y) tthat is…

Speech Management / Agent: Is it possible to have Australian accent as well?
Currently, only options available are limited (after installing) additional captivate voices. Even the windows language packs are not picked, up by Captivate.
So not much choice, as we have either American/British VO.

Make tabs widget buttons look like tabs
Currently there's no way to make the buttons at the top of the Tabs widget actually look like tabs. They can be either square or rounded, but not the rounded-top, square-bottom shape characteristic when people think of tabs. I've had client feedback not to use this widget type at all because their users don't recognise the buttons as clickable, since the first tab of text is already visible -- they just scroll past the rest. In other places in Captivate, there's the option to set component corner roundedness individually. Could we please implement it here?

Feedback captions disappear when duplicating a quiz slide
When the captions are shown on the original slide, they are hidden on the duplicate slide which is simple annoying if you are busy with editing the feedback messages. It is not that intuitive due to the UI to find that Show button again. Duplication should result in an identical duplicate.

captions move when adding new text
Force the caption to use the same font that it's used on the theme or add a caption style in the theme options to set up.

Confusion with Design Options on Slide vs Blocks
The design options are confusing, especially since I think there is a lot of mismatch between what appears in the Design Option properties panel for the Slide vs the Block.
- Add a new Conversation Slide
- Look at the Design Options for that slide. There are four. The first (upper-left) has a green background. The second (upper-right) has the speech cards appear at the very bottom of the images.
- Click on the Block itself
- Look at the Design Options for the block. There are also four. I suspect the are supposed to completely correspond with the design options for the slide.…
