  1. 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.

    1. Add a new Conversation Slide
    2. 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.
    3. Click on the Block itself
    4. 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.…

  2. Videos with Time Markers

    Slide Video Blocks [to a YouTube video] is not consiste with start/end time markers.

    It seems as if support for the time markers (start/end time) does not work consistently. Here is an example file: https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/p89ko9u5bsij/default/YouTubeVideo_TimeMarkersNotWorking.cpt

    This file contains two slides:
    - Slide 1 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [relatively short] YouTube video. The time marker seemingly starts that the correct location every time.
    - Slide 2 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [much longer] YouTube video. The time marker never starts at the correct location and is always different

  3. In-built states are missing from Captivate 12.2 [at least] for the Image Grid

    It's easies to look at this file (https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/pwafpzqrnced/default/builtInStatesLost.cpt) for an example:
    - Slide 1 uses the Image Grid and the States for this grid are missing InBuilt states
    - Slide 2 was copied from an older version of Captivate 12 and includes the InBuilt states for the same widget

    NOTE: This page includes an In-Built States section, even though the InBuilt states are missing from the Image Grid Widget: https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/help/states-adobe-captivate.html

  5. Exporting not working

    The "Exporting project content and closed captions" will not save. My team and I have tried, and we have the latest version. We could a few weeks ago. All it does is go to save, but it doesn't. Please help!

  6. Ensure that Captivate will still function with iCloud sync of the Documents folder enabled.

    Currently, if Mac users have iCloud sync of their Documents folder enabled, Captivate will not function properly. In particular, insertion of image blocks will fail with a message of “Something went wrong with content block insertion.” Users should not have to disable iCloud for Captivate to function.

  7. Classic: Multi SCO Packager Classic not launching from menu

    Lauching the packager from File, New Project is not functional.
    However when finding the packager using All apps (Win11) and starting it with the shortcut key will show the Template choice.

  8. Open up the Bookmark-Overlay Option to include Graded Question Slides

    It would significantly add so much if the overlay pre-built question slide could be either a knowledge check or a graded quiz that is reportable to the LMS. Using this feature in a final assessment (rather than the Preliminary/Introduction/Review portion of an eLearning course) could add some much dimension to an eLearning Final Assessment.

  9. Bug: uploading non-zipped output results in blank screen

    To provide a link (or to embed) such output, I always upload (Fzilla) to my domain. Here is an example:
    https://www.lilybiri.com/published/BookmarkStates/index.html
    This URL however will not open anything, there was no error reported, just get a blank screen (Edge/Chrome).
    Another user reported the same problem in the Adobe forum.
    Weird: when uploaded to the eLearning community where AWS required a zipped output, it works fine although loading time is too long for a 14Mb file.

  10. BUG Can't input Japanese

    When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
    You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.

  11. Impossible to have a blank list on Default state

    To have a list entering line by line, I often start with a blank default state of the list, than add custom states where a next bullet is added etc.
    The easiest way is to fill the default state with the full list, than duplicate as many times as needed, delete lines on each state. At the end I want to clear everything on the default state but that is impossible.
    Will provide you directly with a project with that issue.

  12. Highlighting the search results from the TOC Search function

    It would be great to have the function that the words I'm searching for in the TOC searching field would be highlighted on the slides. Like it would be if I'm searching in a PDF or with STRG+F.

    My wishful thinking would be that you see a Preview of the sentence, where the word is included.

  13. QuestionAnswerChoice buggy

    Using this variable to create an interaction is not working at all, variable cannot be displayed neither. Is this linked with its type which is 'string'? In previous versions the variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice was very useful for many use cases.

  14. make an easy way to make input fields mandatory and be resizable in width

    Been trying to make the input fields mandatory before the learner can click on the next button, I have tried lots of different conditions as not empty, not equal to _null (setting this variable to another empty field) before it shows the next button nothing has worked so far. I have managed to go around and use the click object option before the learner can see the button but this is not ideal.

    Also I don't see the need of a large input field that goes from one side to the other of the page but instead it would be…

  15. Video demo has no Control panel on Timeline

    Captivate Classic, Video Demo editor lost a lot of features. When switching to the editor, Timeline is no longer activated by default. You need to open it using the Window menu.
    Moreover the control panel at the bottom of the Timeline, where you had tiny buttons for navigation, for trimming, splitting, add panning/zooming points, switch to mouse points editing has completely disappeared. It makes working with Video Demo a real pain.
    Play/pause still is sometimes functional using the playbar, but that is not consistent (same as New Captivate). But for all other functionalities which were at the fingertips in previus…

  18. Images on blocks do not have same properties as background images on slides (or image media block)

    When setting an image for the background appearance of a block, you lose the ability to set transparency, blur, brightness and contrast.
    1. Add an Introduction Slide
    2. Click on the Introduction block in the slide
    3. Expand the Appearance section in the properties panel
    4. Click the arrow next to Solid Fill and select 'Image'
    5. Import any image (from system or assets)
    RESULT: No ability to set transparency, blur or brightness and contrast
    EXPECTED: Ability to set transparency, blur, brightness and contrast

  19. Bug - Captivate Classic 11.8.2.254 installs files in root of Adobe folder

    Captivate Classic 11.8.2.254 files install to C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\ folder on Windows 10. Should install to "Adobe Captivate 2019 x64" subfolder. I installed 11.8.2.254 via the Captivate installer after running "Check for Updates" from the Help menu of the previous version. Installation was successful and 11.8.2.254 runs without any apparent issues. Performed the same update on another Win 10 laptop and it too had Captivate files installed to the C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\ folder.

  20. add separate accessibility options for links when more than one link is used in the same block of text

    when you create a text block each block of text has its own accessibility options.
    but within each text block you can add more than one link.

    can we make it so that each link has its own accessibility option.
