Fix The Voices in the Latest Version of Captivate
Chat support had me do CleanPreferencesMac, but that didn't work. It told me to my only option was to post here and just hope I could get some help at some point. Luckily I'm not on a deadline with this project!
The latest update has been a huge step backwards in terms of quality of the voices (I went through about a dozen), and the interface itself for many reasons:
- Some of the old AI voices aren't there anymore, which is not good when you are in the middle of a project (Jessica Anne in particular).
- The delivery sounds more…

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

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: 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…

When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.
When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.
It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.
I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...

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…

Set default ai voice
I would like to be able to specify an AI voice as the default for all my new projects. And if I change the speaker during a project, then use that speaker until I ask to change from that speaker. At the moment every time I go to generate text to speech Captivate is defaulting back to the first voice in the catalogue.

Accessibility Bug: The scrolling text area does not have a tab index
The click to reveal widget forces a scrolling text box. This text box cannot be scrolled by a keyboard user, because there is no tab index on the box itself. It is also not clear that the text box is scrollable, because the thumb for the scrollbar is hidden until scrolling with the mouse. This box should be responsive on browser zoom and expand vertically to show the text, rather than cut the text off in a scrolling area. If it must do a scrolling area, that scrolling area needs the scroll bar thumb as an indicator, and also needs…

Lack of mobility in software.
I want to like this software as a designer, but the fact that I cannot move things around, is a little upsetting. I believe if you make that change it would help designers out a lot.

Change the "Project End" actions option in the Preference Panel to revert back to "nothing"
When you are setting the Preferences / Project / Publish to computer, if you choose one of the actions in the "Project End" option, you cannot revert back to nothing if you choose "Loop Project", "Close Project", "Open URL or file", or "Run JavaScript".
In my case, I have selected the action "Close Project" but changes my mind, now I cannot revert back to nothing...
This is outrageous as I have to generate this project all from scratch because of a silly configuration issue.

Text Box Functionality
Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.
I often find I am clicking a text box 3-4 times just to add or change text inside of a text box. Once I get into the text block I then need to click where I want the cursor to be, but it just unclicks the text block and I have to go through the process again. It's not difficult to click multiple times, but after having to do this to 50+ text blocks this simple little action can get very annoying very quickly.
Maybe implementing a single click into the…1 vote -
We have encountered screen freezing issue in Captivate Quiz if there are some disruption/network disconnect
We have encountered screen freezing issue in Captivate Quiz if there are some disruption/network disconnect. The learners are stuck in a question where options and submit button are disabled. Using Skip button is not a good resolution for us. We request at least these two features to consider Captivate as an authoring tool that meets our requirements:
• Resume/Restart bookmark popup in LMS (Not only one of them)
• Ability to add bookmark in Question screen timeline1 vote
