    Exit button action works during preview but does not work when scorm is uploaded to ALM. Have spoken to support, they do not know why this is happening.
    Pls fix as now I have to write a sentence on the end screen so that learners know to exit the scorm.

  2. Drag and Drop Layout

    Ability to change the drag and drop layout to have the captions on the left and items you're dragging on the right so that it's similar to a match the column interaction layout.

  3. 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.

  4. Bug: carousel indicator dots not showing

    Occasionally when published, carousels with 'indicator' checked in the feature options are appearing without the indicator dots/dashes when published. I'm sure there's a commonality between them but for the time being can't work out what it is -- seemingly random.

  5. Remove solid black border from overlays

    When an overlay first appears it is surrounded by a solid black border even if no border is selected.

    It should be possible to remove this.

  6. Draw Hotspots of different shapes rather than just Images inside a square

    You should be able to draw a hotspot as a vector rather than just have an image placed inside a square place holder (with the entire square being a clickable hotspot).

    This is so that you can click on part of an image below the hotspot.

  8. Bug: White screen instead of course

    Randomly (probably 20% of the time) a blank white screen appears instead of courses built using new Captivate. This happens in our current LMS (Taleo), the LMS we are currently switching to (Workday), and SCORM Cloud. I've tested both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 3rd ed. using SCORM Cloud and received the same results as our LMS. I have the completion criteria set to Quiz is passed.

    When the course does not load, this is the error displayed in Chrome Dev Tools:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'CPProjInit')
    at main.chunk.js:1:1148493
    at Object.<anonymous> (main.chunk.js:1:1151364)

  9. Fix Buggy Animations

    On an SVG object, I chose to apply an exit animation going to the right. It played correctly when scrubbing through the timeline and when clicking Test. When I previewed in the browser, the object slides off to the left (the opposite direction).
    I also applied an entrance animation to three SVG objects. I used the scale in option and I adjusted them to scale in one at a time on the timeline. This played as anticipated in the timeline. When I previewed in the browser, only the first two scaled in. The third popped in without animation.

  10. Bug - Interactive buttons with jump to bookmark on a slide video mobile issue

    In the newest version of Adobe Captivate on Windows, when you have buttons that "jump to bookmark" on a slide video the interactivity does not work on mobile.

    The functionality works fine on desktop but for some reason on mobile the buttons don't work and don't react to tap.

    The mobile functionality is a needed feature for a client project.

    Other button interactivity works on mobile such as running JavaScript, but not the "Jump to Bookmark"

  11. 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…

  12. allow people to add custom voices for text to speech.

    Allow users to add custom voices for text to speech. Also, when you have to break a sentence up, the program adds a space of blank air, making it awkward.

  13. Bug - Timeline animation

    I have multiple components on my timeline, each of which has a entrance animation. I am finding if the components are staggered to come into the time line at intervals, of say 2 seconds, the entrance animation of only the 1st component works. Only if all components come into the timeline together does the entrance animation work for all.

  14. Improve Calibration for Software Simulation - Captivate 12.3

    With Captivate 12.3 (Windows 11 laptop), when I prepare to do a software simulation and select Narration and then calibrate, the audio is so quiet, regardless of which microphone I use, that it's inaudible in the project. Suggest you add the ability to manually calibrate, or address this if it's a bug.

  15. Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results.

    Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results. This allows us to see what the learner knows before training and what they learned after training.

  16. Touch screens

    I know that Captivate Classic never has enabled the possibilities of touch screens, but for an application created from scratch, ignoring this is a pity. Why cannot I rearrange the actions in an interaction by dragging? The Up/Down arrow are not functional to rearrange the actions within one interaction. The old iPad app could use a touch screen, on my Surface Pro I only have difficulties within this new version. I can accept that for the canned templates and blocks, but not for something like actions in an interaction.

  18. 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.
