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?

Bug - Mobile course layout and view does not match what I'm seeing within Captivate
When we design our courses in Captivate to look a certain way on Desktop, Tablet, and Phone, the published course design/layout does not match what we designed it to look like in Captivate. The mobile views have screwed up fonts and layout and don't appear the same as we designed them to be. What is the point of having the ability to view and design for different devices if that design doesn't carry over to those devises in the end?? I am including side-by-side screenshots of what a specific slide was designed to look like in Captivate and what it…

Personal Asset Library + Personal Presets
I use Captivate and Camtasia. Camtasia has a personal asset library you can build out yourself. Like if you customize a certain effect you can save it as a preset but also if you upload an asset you can save it in your library for future use. Both of these features would be really helpful and save me a lot of time.

TOC Navigation Control Missing in New Adobe Captivate
Issue Summary:
In the new version of Adobe Captivate, Table of Contents (TOC) items are enabled from the beginning, allowing users to skip slides without completing them. This undermines the learning flow and defeats the purpose of structured eLearning.
Expected Behavior:
There should be an option or variable to disable TOC items initially, and enable each item only after the corresponding lesson or slide is completed.
Actual Behavior:All TOC items are accessible from the start.
Learners can skip ahead without engaging with the content.
No built-in setting or variable is available…3 votes -
Review rendering of transparent background images
Transparent images in PNG or SVG format when used as background are showing a thin line like it was being tiled, even if the tile option is not selected.
In the example attached, I have a simple SVG with an angled corner used as background, and on the bottom-right corner it displays a line of the same colour.
The same happens with PNG images.

Bug: Hotspot callout size is not reflected in actual course
The actual callout size when previewing or publishing the course is considerably larger than what is shown in Captivate. Padding settings are not respected.

QWERTY compatibilty
The Undo function is mapped to the AZERTY keyboard configuration instead of the QWERTY.
Actually, the undo function is assigned to the CTRL+W shortcut instead of the CRTL+Z. Crtrl+Z close the project.It's really annoing, as the undo function is a convention on Ctrl+Z on all QWERTY keyboard. It's occus in the french version of the new Adobe Captivate.

Bug - Simulations - Typing Text discolouration
In creating an OpenSearch simulation, I have noticed there is discolouration of certain elements (per attachment; it's an orange-brown overlay). Captivate never told me it was going to do it, nor did it ever let me control any aspect of it. And the only way to get rid of it is to get rid of Typing Text, making the whole thing moot.
I'll use DaVinci Resolve to record a demo and forgo training and assessment because this is one more way the All-New Captivate is All Buggy.2 votes -

Accessibility Bug: Screen readers announce radio buttons incorrectly
Two primary issues.
If using the question slide template, the multiple choice questions always announce as a group of checkboxes with screen readers, even if they are radio buttons. The toggle between single answer and multiple answer changes the state visibly, but not programmatically.
If using the Radio Group interactive component, the radio buttons correctly announce as radios, however, when navigating to the next radio option, the screen reader announces the previously selected option again in addition to the new option.
Example:
A radio group with options A, B and C.With JAWS or NVDA navigate to Option A, "Option…

[Feature] Option to automatically unflip inactive cards in the Cards Widget
Problem:
Currently, any card flipped in the Cards Widget remains active ("flipped") until it is clicked again. As a result, multiple cards can remain flipped simultaneously, which can be confusing in many learning scenarios.Suggestion:
Add an option that controls this behavior: When a new card is flipped, the previously active card should automatically flip back to its front side.This setting should be configurable both in the GUI and

Please add System DATE variable in the English text with numeral format

Bug: Asked to save changes when no changes were made
When publishing a course as a SCORM file, an asterisk is added next to the file name indicating changes were made. When I try to close the file, it asks me to save my changes. What changes? I only published the course in a different format.

Bug - audio loading is delayed and then cuts off prematurely.
We are having problems when we have slide-level audio. It does not begin playing at the beginning of the timeline for the slide (appears to be a loading delay) and then once it does load, the audio will cut off prematurely because the slide has reached the end of its timeline. We have been able to do a workaround with extending the duration of the slide by a significant amount and then placing a button on the slide that the user can push to advance to the next slide without having to wait for the timeline to complete, but this…

Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate
When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

Export Project Content and Captions
I have discovered that the Export project content and captions workflow is missing an important text component that should be corrected as soon as possible. The various feedback captions for question slides seem to be missing from the resulting Word document. I guess it would be considered a bug as this is a major omission for the software.

allow free movement of blocks
The interface using a fixed block-based layout is awful. Jumping through hoops just to design a slide with a video where I want it and a text box next to it.

Simplify Quiz design
The ability to remove the quiz feedback captions. In 2019 you can drag them away from the slide to hide them. "Submit All" simplify the process for a range of quiz questions. Allow the selections of buttons that meets the design requirement. such as just a "back" and "next" button on each slide to navigate through the quiz. On the final quiz slide show the "Submit All" button to submit all the answers in one go.

Generate Avatar TTS
A change to be able to hear TTS before generating avatar would be great. Sometimes you have to do a small change to make the speech flow better and having to wait stinks but even more important it would save from using credits. Or changing it to stop using the premium credits when we use the audio only which would match more closely to the TTS through the add audio section.
