Bug: Closed Captions Variable doesn't work
If you hide the closed captions by setting the variable $$Project.ClosedCaptions$$ to false, the closed captions can no longer be displayed even if you set the variable to true again. This means you cannot use your own button to hide and show the Closed Captions.

Change margins of text in carousel widget.
Without an image the text spreads across the screen, which is far to wide of a line length for on-text reading. If there is already a way to do this, please make it more obvious. I spent way longer than I should have before giving up. Honestly, it's a terrible design that you can only change these margins on some element. Don't even get me started elements have handles that don't do anything (resize). It's as though the developer have no concern for standardized user interfaces, which is what really makes things intuitive and easy. Why must we constantly click…

{Bug} Random duplication of variables
I created 5 variables to test out the new variable system. I created these variables on a single slide and assigned them to buttons.
I then began programming advanced actions with the buttons on the same slide and I realized there was an entire list of duplicated variables all from the initial 5 that were created.
I did not duplicate the buttons on this slide, nor did I duplicate the slide itself.
- The variables couldnt be deleted until I saved the file and reopened it.

Allow customizing scrollbar
The scrollbar on the side when something is taller than the standard window size is very hard to see and users may not recognize that it's there. Allow customization of this to make it stand out.
On the same vein, allow buttons that scroll to a fixed anchor on the slide if you want to be able to jump down

Typewriter bugs
When applying an Entrance Typewriter animation on more than one text in a slide, and the texts are staggered on the timeline, only the first animation will appear. Sometimes it will only appear if the first text starts from the first frame. If you delete the animation on the first text, and keep it on the second text which appears later the animation never plays. It is a rather inconsistent bug, which I explored with multiple slides, Text Blocks and Media Blocks containing text components.

It would be great to duplicate save button status while changing buttons.

Vimeo video and caption controls not available.
Embedded video from Vimeo using the video object has no controls. I'd rather not enforce the user to have to sit through the whole video again when returning to a slide to make a different choice. I'd also like them to have the option see the captions already uploaded and managed in Vimeo.

I just started testing the updated Captivate Classic. Why was the Preview next 5 slides removed?
In the updated Captivate Classic, the Prevew next 5 Slides option is no longer in the Preview drop-down. Why was that removed? If I have 100 slides and I want to check the timings on slides 90-95, I don't want to preview the entire project and try to guess where to click to start my preview. I can't preview just one slide at a time if I am checking the timings when switching from one slide to another.

This Is Where Good Ideas Come to Die
If the information here is never going to see the light of day in the form of actionable tickets, what exactly are we doing here? You keep ignoring bugs reported years ago; what hope do I have that anything I report will even be looked at?

Allow us to change the color of a text hyperlink
In earlier updates I was able to manually change the color of clickable text links so that it matched my client's branding. It would be nice to have control over how these look, and it would be exceptional if the appearance of text hyperlinks was something we could add to the theme editor.
Not sure what changed, but now I have to explain to my clients that this functionality was somehow removed, and we have to deal with ugly purple links instead of sticking to our brand colors.

Add the option of using a Thumbnail image for the video before it starts playing
The first frame of a video not always represent what the video is about. When using videos on Slide Video or the Video Grid, it would be good to have the option of having a thumbnail image displayed before the video starts.

When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.
When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.
It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.
I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...

Multiple closed captions for Slide/Event video
For the purposes of localization it would be helpful to have more than one closed caption SRT/VTT file for each video in the course and allow the user to select their own language preferences.

Bug: Copy & Paste Between Projects
Copy and Paste between projects has now been included, but many slides crash upon pasting into the new project. I can paste some slides with no issues, but others cause the program to crash. I can reproduce the crash over and over, but can't seem to narrow down the reason why some slides cause the crash. I can narrow down to particular slides however. Also, add the ability to Drag & Drop slides between projects. Captivate 12.5

Allow the Timeline to be moved away from the stage to make screen management easier.
In previous versions of Captivate, I was able to grab the timeline and place it anywhere I wanted on my monitors. I could then see the stage and timeline all at once. It was much more efficient.

allow text boxes to be resized
text boxes are fixed width and cannot be resized to accommodate for other objects or portions of an image. this is completely restrictive. even text boxes that are inserted manually (vs choosing one of the very fixed slide templates) cannot be resized.
