Text to speech panel open when moving from slide to slide
I've been entering many slides of text to speech and I have to open the text to speech panel for each time I navigate to another slide. To me it would make sense if the software would keep a panel open until I select to display another.

Customize Default Preset
In all previous releases of Captivate it was possible to define another object style as Default. In this version it is impossible to set another Preset as default. That creates a lot of extra clicking when you want to use the same Preset consistently throughout a project. For texts you can edit the default style, but for other Presets like images that is not possible.

Software simulation settings should be sticky
In 2019, when you created a software simulation it remembered size, location on screen and other settings. Now, each time I create a simulation, it asks me for the same details. This means if I have forgotten to take a screen or series of actions, the capture area is not in the same place. This means a lot of messing around to get the capture lining up with the software window. It's incredibly frustrating. Also, please remember the tracking setting! I don't want or need automatic tracking, so having it reset each time is irritating.

Audio in Hotspot widget to play when hotspot is clicked
If you allow to add audio to the callouts, whether to the image or the text, this would be a simple but very useful enhancement.

Create a process widget
Create a process widget. It would be great to have a process widget. The old version was a circle which is nice, but there could also be a horizontal option that shows a process for instances that do not repeat themselves in a cycle.

Block for "previous" and "next" buttons in Interactions.
Create a block for previous and next buttons that can be added to any slide. This appears along with the widgets, but a fast way to add that same design to any slide would be great. Currently you have to create 2 buttons and the change the design as well as program the 2 buttons.

Allow overlay images (ie. click to reveal) expand to the whole overlay if there's no text element.
At the moment, if there's no text element the image still remains small. If there's no text element, it should expand to take up the whole overlay.

Bug - Training and Assessment Simulations - Typing Text
I've created a software simulation in Captivate 12 for Microsoft Word in which the learner starts by typing the text
=lorem(4,8)
When I run the training or assessment and type in the text above, it fails. I checked the Input Text field in Captivate and saw that it had ignored the fact that I had held down the Shift key to create the parentheses and so it was waiting for me to type: =lorem98,40

Bug - Title text being cut off
Text is being cut off in the title. The text looks normal on the stage, and I have plenty of padding above and below the text, but hanging parts of text like the tails of a y or g are getting cut off inexplicably and I cannot fix it.

Bug: Linked PDF will be implemented after first publishing
there is a bug using the action "open URL or File". If I select a PDF from my system and publish the course, everthing is fine and Captivate places the PDF in the output correctly. However when I publish the course again, the file is not included in the dirctory even if no changes have been made to the file.
So if you want to use the "open URL or File" action, you have to select the file again before each publication.

Bug - Cannot submit answers
Here is the adobe forum where I was asking about this and the steps I took to try and correct it: https://elearning.adobe.com/2023/08/captivate-12-unable-to-select-quiz-answer-in-published-course/#comment-353158
I have a quiz with 10 questions. You can see the quiz here: https://app.cloud.scorm.com/sc/InvitationConfirmEmail?publicInvitationId=0cfcc50d-f581-446a-a5e0-b41fc1d3e602
When you get to question 2, you cannot submit an answer. If you close the SCORM Cloud window and relaunch it, you can continue. But when you get to question 9, the same thing happens. If I am in my regular LMS, the same thing happens but the only way to continue is to switch to a new browser. I have no idea why…

Trigger actions for objects on other slides
I'm writing a conditional advanced interaction where I would be required to Show or hide a paragraph block on another slide depending on the value of a variable. I cannot reference this paragraph block because it's on another slide. This limitation means writing twice as many advanced interactions

Bookmark without interaction
To create a Replay action (one of my most visited blog posts) in this version you need to rely on a Bookmark at the start of the slide timeline. However that bookmark will just be used as target for a Jump to interaction. At this moment it is impossible to have a bookmark without assigning an interaction to it. And the dropdown list has no option 'No action' as was available in previous versions.
BTW when you insert a bookmark at the start of a slide with SVGs, those SVGs will temporarily disappear. You need to refresh to see them…5 votes
