Allow for cropped views of cutout characters in Asset Store
I was using the single and two-character media blocks and realized that I could not select a cropped view of the characters like I could in previous versions of Adobe Captivate. I know I can crop these images after but this was a nice feature.

Ability to hover as a way to proceed on a slide
Ability to hover over an area on screen to proceed on a slide like you could before Flash went away for Adobe Captivate. This would only be for courses viewed on a desktop. Many simulations have hover actions.

Project Properties - Bug
I have noticed that the UI Components in Edit Theme will not allow me to select and change certain colors. I am unable to change button colors even if it is a preset color. Also, Edit Theme removes colors from my preset. All UI Components are experiencing issues customizing the colors.

Make the answer window moveable
When I am inputting and selecting answers while building a match the column slide, the window partially blocks the view of the slide, and I don't seem to be able to move it. It would be nice to be able to move it.

Make default quiz buttons picked up by focus area for keyboard accessibility
The default quiz buttons can be tabbed through with a keyboard, but after you turn the focus setting on, the focus area does not appear on the default quiz buttons-- this means to make a truly accessible quiz you have to use custom quiz buttons. Please fix this.

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.

Custom Size: Page Properties/Layout
I understand the need for responsive design and I appreciate added features. With that said, please don't remove features. I would like to be able to control the layout size for desktops. When embedded in the LMS, a scroll bar appears so the learners can not see the buttons without scrolling. Please bring back custom sizing.

Keep drop-down areas open unless I close them
In the Properties area, there can be many drop-down menus I'm trying to view when viewing Appearance or Interactions. Sometimes I need to switch between these to view a setting for an object, and I'll have just opened a drop-down menu. Then, it's closed when I come back to it. I've found that it would be much more user friendly to have these drop-down areas stay open once I've opened them even if I navigate to something else in Captivate. Then, it would be my responsibility to close them if I don't wan to view them any longer. For example,…

Hot keys for Radio Buttons
When you do incorporate hot keys, it is vital that hotkeys are available for radio buttons to use the keyboard to select A, B, C, D on question slides, which was not available in Captivate Classic.

UI for assigning actions to radio button component is abysmal. You can't tell which option triggers which set of actions
At the slide level you can see which option is triggering the actions, but once you get into the component itself there is no distinction between the options except for a faint line.

Bug: You can add a button to the paragraph card but you cannot assign an action to it.
If you select the paragraph card from the timeline in the tabs widget you get the option add a button. I thought this would be a good solution to not being able to see the image in the widget large enough, i could at least add a button that opens a version of the image in a new window. However, while you can format the button like normal, you cannot select the interactions menu to assign it to do anything. So it's just a dead button.

BUG - font is stripped when sub or super script is used.
When I choose to make a character (letter or number) a super or sub script, the font removes all capitalization. Doesn't seem right...

Correct flicker when using effects.
Currently when you apply an entrance effect (ie. EaseIn Left or EaseIn Right) to an object in Adobe Captivate the object displays in the final position for a split second before beginning the effect.
The desired outcome is to not see the object until the effect begins to fade the object in. If the effect begins at the 0 second mark on the timeline and the effect fades and eases in left, you shouldn't see it until it begins to fade in.
This issue occurs when viewing the project in HTML 5.3 votes -
Hand tool
The typical Adobe Hand tool is available in the new version of Captivate, however it is invisible. Using the space bar (similar to Photoshop and other Adobe tools) you can use it to navigate. It is much easier than the tiny scrollbars.
But its icon button is never visible. Why? How do you expect new users to learn about this tool?1 vote -
Bug: Time ruler disappears on long slides
On any long slide, typical for slide video, the project will always open with the timeline panel at maximum zoom. In that case the ticks on the time ruler simply disappear and are replaced by an emoticon. To get the ruler back, it is necessary to custom zoom.
BTW I tried to upload a cpt project to illustrate what I explained but that is not possible.1 vote -

Allow streaming from Wistia in addition to YouTube and Vimeo.
Allow streaming from other video hosting sites. We use Wistia and Articulate will allow an embed from any streaming service. I prefer captivate but we do a lot of video clips and embedding them into the trainings directly make the trainings huge.

incorporate videos published on https://share.synthesia.io/ into Captivate.
We use the Synthesia.io tool to generate videos which we then incorporate into Captivate.
Synthesia.io allows you to share videos directly from their site, without going through Youtube or Vimeo. However, Captivate cannot incorporate videos from sites other than Youtube or Vimeo.
We would like to be able to incorporate videos published on https://share.synthesia.io/ into Captivate.1 vote
