  1. Certificate widget download takes a long time and truncates text in the certificate

    When you click the download icon for a certificate, it takes a suprisingly long time, with no visual feedback that anything is happening. The background image and text throughout the certificate is truncated. Other than using a screen capture tool, there is no way for the user to get a usable certificate. The certificate is also very large, at over 5 megabytes in size. Attached is the correct certificate (captured using SnagIt) and the annotated certificate that Captivate 12.6.0.63 currently provides.

  2. Bug: The update to 12.6 and Tab widget content

    The newest update pushes all content left-aligned when published and in preview mode; however, when designing, it shows with the spacing.

  3. Publishing over an existing published folder of the same name (as after making revisions), erases the contents

    If you make revisions to a project that you previously published to a folder, and you re-publish over that same folder, it erases the contents of the folder and does not create new published content. You end up with a folder that only has the project.text file in it.

  4. Complex calculation expression

    I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).

  6. Playhead Not Accurate In Timeline

    This is especially noticeable when I've just added a new audio to the slide. I add the audio, press play on the timeline, and the playhead is frozen in place while the audio plays uncontrollably in the background. Eventually the playhead starts moving, but it's inaccurate. When the screen is frozen and the audio is playing, I have to just sit there and wait for the playhead to start moving. If I click anything before the playhead starts moving again, the program can crash or freeze.

    I've noticed the timeline is pretty inaccurate in general, and I have to time…

  7. Hyperlink improvement

    Hyperlinks do not always work. Our policy link looks like this and Captivate 12 doesn't accept it: https://epm.azahcccs.gov/EligibilityPolicyManual/index.html#t=Policy%2FChapter_400_AHCCCS_Medical_Assistance_Programs%2FMA0413.htm

    If I convert it to a tiny UTL, that type of link does work. https://tinyurl.com/EPM413

  8. Rearranging slides is not working

    When I try to drag a slide to a different position within the stack, it either snaps back to its original position or places it far up in the stack at a completely different position.

  9. Need to be able to scale video to fit slide. Basic 101.

    Unable to move the Video to the center of the slide and scale it. It does not scale, and it does not leave the top of the page, unless I add Top padding. But adding padding is not an option b/c it fills it black and it is unbalanced top and bottom. I can not delete the color behind the video.

  10. Text block

    When long passages of text in a text block are included and you want to change or add something, the cursor jumps every time to the end of the text even though I clicked at the top. I then always have to scroll back up. The text should not jump every time I clicked inside or outside of the text block.

  14. Add Ability to Lower Slide/Thumbnail Resolution to Improve Editing Time

    Currently the program is super slow, and it's frustrating sitting there waiting for thumbnails of slides to process before I can even click them. I wish there was a way we could lower the resolution of our slides/thumbnails (like how Adobe After Effects allows you to lower the resolution to 1/4 or 1/2 to enable faster editing).

    I don't need my slides and thumbnails to look perfectly crisp while editing and if they were lower resolution in the editor it might help me speed up my process.

    I use some animated GIFs as images, and in the thumbnails Captivate is…

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. Enabling a border around click boxes

    Having a border option available around a click box would greatly help when trying to draw the attention of a learner.

    Currently my only workaround is to create a highlight box, add a border to that, then place the click box over the top of it.

    Having to do this needlessly doubles up steps needed for a slide.

  20. 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.
