Fix text formatting bugs
It's great that there are three distinct text sizes for desktop/tablet/mobile. However, I believe there's a bug with the way these display.
If a text element contains formatted text (e.g. bold, italics), the break point for the size change seems to happen at a different time to the rest of the text.
For users, this manifests as seemingly random paragraphs or headings displaying as smaller/larger than the rest of the text (see screenshot, where all text shown has the same style settings in Captivate. The only difference is whether the paragraph contains any words in bold/italics.

Bug in Themes: Not importing custom theme
Frequently when importing my custom theme, it doesn't change the theme but tells me it is already imported. This usually requires reusing existing courses to create new ones with the correct theme. See attached image for the bugged behavior and the other showing the correct theme.

Advanced VR Goggle Support
There are currently only two models of VR goggles with support (Samsung Gear VR + Google Daydream). Some of these models are difficult to obtain in Germany and only support certain smartphone brands or (sometimes outdated) models. For the educational context (360° tour, university library) and thus an extended use in new training formats, we would urgently like to see a broader support of several VR goggles models, so that the 360° environment in VR can also be used with several, especially newer smartphone models and independent of specific brands.

Combi characters not accepted anywhere
In previous versions this was a limitation for international users with a non-US keyboard only in widgets/learning interactions. But now it is the case for all text and this really bad. A combi character is where you need to use two keys to get the result, which is the case for most non-US keyboards needing a much larger set of characters. One example in Dutch: when two identical characters are in sequence but need to be pronounced both separately we need to put two points at its top (similar to the umlaut in German): 'creëren' has them on the second…

Confusing Error log after CSV import
Since there is no longer an Advanced Interaction panel to check the total score possible, I use the SUM functionality of Excel to calculate the total score in the score column. I had 7 questions, an empty line and than the sum. When importing the CSV both the empty line and the sum line are considered to be uncomplete questions and you get an error log with a lot of errors, whereas this is not important at all. It is nice that you can override the errors and import. However I imagine that this can be confusing. Not a game…

TRUE/FALSE translation in CSV not imported
I try to localise a quiz, and replaced TRUE/FALSE by its Dutch version, sometimes 'WAAR/ONWAAR' or JA/NEE'. However after import to a project, the default TRUE/FALSE replaces the translation. This is a bug. Even for English versions it is sometimes better to have other terms than TRUE/FALSE, depending on the question.

Allow us to change the underline color of a link
When I linked some text, a light pink/purple line displayed under the linked text. I did not find where to change that color on the properties, nor the theme. Pinky/Purple is not one of our brand colors.

Spacebar as shortcut
In all Adobe applications which have a Timeline, the Spacebar is used as shortcut key to play/pause the slide. That worked also perfectly in previous versions of Captivate, if focus was on the Timeline panel.
In version 12 the behavior is inconsistent, sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. Once you switch to using the Play/pause buttons it looks like you lose the focus on the Timeline and Spacebar will not be functional. Rather frustrating to unlearn the use of the Spacebar after almost two decades.3 votes -

Bug: Can't remove button text
Select any button that contains text. Double-click / highlight the text and press DELETE or otherwise attempt to delete the text. Click off the button. Text returns. The only way to remove text from the buttons - but it affects the size of the button and isn't the desired solution here - is to uncheck the text option in properties

Direct access to the Assets
That feature existed in previous versions. Now you can only access all assets from the popup when inserting an item which can use an asset and click on Assets. As already asked since Assets panel were introduced: allow to add personal assets. I often use Adobe stock for all Adobe applications but since we still have no access to the CC Libraries...sighing

Restore Control Movie variables
The Control Movie variables were the ones I used most of all system variables and they are completely gone. This is a big step backwards. Even for the very simple Boolean ones (CC, TOC hide/show)..

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.

Bug: Activating Skip button in Quiz Preferences is not functional
;The only way to have a Skip button on quiz slides is to do it manually on each slide. In older versions it was possible to set it once in the Quiz Preferences, and it could only be overruled by an individual slide setting. Now it is not possible to have it globally

Allow users to create text-based tables
The only text options are paragraph and column text. Tables can be made responsive, and are a much-needed piece of functionality.
