Software Simulation Not Capturing on Training with 12.6
I just recorded a software simulation this morning and it did not capture any click boxes. I am using 12.6 and I was recording on my primary monitor.

Add a way to keep the arrow pointer visible after the animation on a software sim.
Currently, when the animation of the pointer is complete, the pointer disappears. There should be a way to separate the animation from the arrow graphic on the timeline so you can have the pointer persist on the screen until the end of the slide. This would be particularly helpful if you have audio over a particular slide on a simulation that is describing movements. You could then sync the movement with where it is mentioning it in the audio clip, but have the arrow pointer continue to point to the place until the end of the clip.

Accordion Widget formatting
Accordion should also allow:
- formatting the text inside the accordion tabs content, as now you can only apply presets, but not add bold or italic to the content
- more than one tab open at the same time as an option, or all the tabs to be open altogether
- copy and paste appearance of tabs
- include the tab text in the states, so the text can have different colours in each state3 votes -
Adding an Accessibility Checker
Having an integrated accessibility checker in the All New Adobe Captivate would be immensely beneficial for ensuring that content consistently meets accessibility standards. It would be nice receive actionable feedback based on key WCAG guidelines, allowing for the immediate identification of accessibility issues, similar to the features available in Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint. If Adobe Captivate could implement this, it would be a game-changer, particularly in light of the new ADA Title II digital accessibility rule about to hit a lot of areas.

Mouse Pointer Settings
Allow for editing the color of the mouse pointer or include the one that looks exactly like a mouse on your computer. We want to be as realistic as possible and the mouse that looked most accurate in Adobe Captivate Classic is not available in the All-New version of Captivate. The closest looking one is gray, but there is no way to change the color of it to white.

Rename Text to Speech Audio Tracks
Would like to be able to give audio a custom name, both in the timeline and when exported. "Text to Audio1" not very helpful.

typewriter animation not playing/working
When trying to apply the typewriter animation to a subtitle of text, I am unable to "test" it or see it in my preview. The text just either doesn't show up at all, or it shows up all at once. This is a popular animation that shows to have lots of bugs. Please fix it.

Allow for adding captions to any audio, not just at the slide level. For example audio attached to slide objects or interactions.

BUG: Resetting Drag and drop widget objects states
When the user clicks on "RESET" button to start a new attempt, the drag objects don't return to their "Normal" state, instead, they return to the "Dropped" state (picture attached after resetting shows objects that were dragged and return to dropped state).
This is quite confusing.
Also, the hover has an inconsistent behaviour when the mouse mover over the images, not always the mouse pointer is detected and make the objects flick between the normal and hover states.
This widget is far from useful or complete with so many bugs and terrible responsiveness.

Bug: Click to reveal setting not working
When you add a click to reveal and set the setting "Move to the next slide when the widget completes" to on, it never works in the course. I had to add a button to allow the user to continue on in the course. I would also add a "widget complete" variable so I can use logic to determine the status of a widget when I need to add conditions. For example, I only want my "Continue" button to appear when the widget completes, but there is no options to find the status of the widget.

BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6
I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.
If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating…

Text-to-speech Missing on Software Simulations
It seems after a software simulation mouse click is added to your project, you can't add text-to-speech. The work around I found was to remove all mouse clicks, then add the text-to-speech, and then go back and add the mouse clicks. It shouldn't be that picky.

Improve responsiveness in Drag & Drop
The responsiveness in the Drag & Drop widget is inexistent!
- The title and body text are on the top of each other in Tablet and Mobile mode
- The drag objects get very small when they are images
- The drag objects turn into numbers when they are text
- If drag objects are text, even in desktop mode they will be on top of each other inside the drag area, so you can't drag them to another place
- Using transparent images in the drag objects will make them crash
- you can't configure the positioning of components properly, so the final result is…

Improve the branding blocks Header and Footer
A few improvements that can be done in the branding blocks:
- Implement the option of making it persistent, so if the user scrolls through the content, the header or/and footer stays frozen above all the content.Ability to copy and paste the building blocks from one project to another, just so you don't have to remake all the configurations again in each of the projects. I have a dozen of projects that use branding blocks and need to build each one from scratch, this is annoying!
Include the header and footer in the Theme Editor, so when you apply…

Fix closed caption importing.
When I import closed captions, it creates captions that say "no audio" to fill all the blank space. This more or less renders the functionality useless.

Why can't you choose 1 image? The button icon shows a layout that you can not achieve.
If you look at the WIDGET to add - it shows an image on the left, and copy on the right. The Design option does not allow for 1 image. I want 1 Image and copy to the left like the widget. Please fix!!!!

Add Down One/Up One arrows to the slide navigator for stepwise rearrangement of slides.
It would be nice to have down one/up one arrows in the slide navigator to allow stepwise rearrangement of slides up or down in the stack. This is especially important since the drag-and-drop slide rearrangement is so buggy and imprecise.

Right click on block and select move to reposition
Sometimes, selecting and moving blocks to other positions is challenging, especially when you want to move a block to the end of a slide. It would be helpful to right-click on an empty area of a block, select Move, and then use the keyboard cursor arrows to move a block up or down.

Bug: Copy & Paste Between Projects
Copy and Paste between projects has now been included, but many slides crash upon pasting into the new project. I can paste some slides with no issues, but others cause the program to crash. I can reproduce the crash over and over, but can't seem to narrow down the reason why some slides cause the crash. I can narrow down to particular slides however. Also, add the ability to Drag & Drop slides between projects. Captivate 12.5
