Fix problem where pasting from external program pastes text twice.
Pasting text from browser or acrobat pastes the text twice for some reason. Then I have to delete half of what is pasted. Why does it do this? Please fix this problem.

Change margins of text in carousel widget.
Without an image the text spreads across the screen, which is far to wide of a line length for on-text reading. If there is already a way to do this, please make it more obvious. I spent way longer than I should have before giving up. Honestly, it's a terrible design that you can only change these margins on some element. Don't even get me started elements have handles that don't do anything (resize). It's as though the developer have no concern for standardized user interfaces, which is what really makes things intuitive and easy. Why must we constantly click…

Enable Feedback for Adobe Captivate Classic
Under "Give Feedback" is apart from Adobe Captivate also Adobe Captivate Classic listed. With 0 (zero) feedbacks. There I've tried to enter a new idea but it's not working. Why is that? CpC is scheduled to be active until 2027. Time enough for improvements. Please also add "Provide Feedback..." to the Help menu of CpC.

{BUG} Cannot change font to bold, italic, underline, or Strikethrough
As the video shows -
Cannot change the font to Bold, italic or anything else.
This issue still persists after closing Captivate and coming back the next day to work on a file.
Cause - I believe using the hotkey CTRL + B breaks it.

Slider Interaction
Create an interaction where users can use a slider to show information. The slider would be something like what is in the image and can move back and forth a certain number of points. Information would display below it based on where you move it to.

bug - save does not always save
This has happened to me multiple times: in the new captivate v12.2 (and prior versions of 12), when I click "save," it appears as though everything has saved correctly. When I later open the file, I have lost all of the work. This has happened on both mac and windows machines. I asked in the forum and other users are reporting the same problem. HOURS lost multiple times.

Bug: when replacing video by shorter video, slide duration is not adapting
Using Slide video as only (media) object on a slide. On adding a video, timeline of the slide will get same duration as the video. However when replacing the video by a shorter video, the slide timeline will not adapt, keeps its original lenght. I am on version 12.2.
BTW trimming a video leads to same problem, but causes lot more issues, learned to use Rush for trimming now.2 votes -
Bug: Quiz questions skipped in Preview (captivate 12)
I have a quiz with 7 questions, and when I preview the project, I go from the quiz intro slide straight to the quiz results slide. The quiz results shows that 0 questions where answered. My settings have that all questions must be answered.
I have rebuilt my quiz question slides multiple times and no matter what I do clicking the Next button on the Intro slide skips over all of the questions. I've checked the button interaction and it's set to Go to next slide....Please fix!!

Zooming in should keep focus on selected item
This is an old pain inherited from previous versions. Default view percentage is 'Best Fit' which is great. But when increasing the percentage to focus on a detail (like a button) I tend to select that item first, and expect by zooming in that the selected item is kept in focus. That used to be the case until version 8 or 9, but was also lost in CP2019. It is very frustrating.

Audio in Hotspot widget to play when hotspot is clicked
If you allow to add audio to the callouts, whether to the image or the text, this would be a simple but very useful enhancement.

Bug: Content width of widgets not adjustable
Some of the widgets cannot be adjusted in terms of the content width. If I use for example the tabs widget (Design Option), the width is preset to 92%. When I change the width for example to 80% the changes are adopted to the widget on the slide. But if change the slide an come back, the widget is agein displayed in 92% although the width value is set to 80%
The card widget (Verticle, bottom text) behaves the same.

Math symbols
It would be nice to be able to write math characters and other special symbols inline with regular text with something similar to LaTeX typesetting or using Mathjax? Maybe I'm missing something, but it does not seem to be able to do so, even pasting text from Word.

Create non-responsive projects
My organization has decided against responsive design. They actively discourage people from using non-desktop computer devices to complete training (concern about employees doing it outside of working hours). The new Captivate leaves us in a bind. We need to be able to design static non-responsive projects as we have always done in previous versions of Captivate.
We will likely never switch until this is restored in the product. If it doesn't come before Cp Classic EOL, we will need to find an alternative product.

Have more standard timeline interface
Make timeline behave like timeline in Premiere and every other professional application with a timeline. Current timeline is more inline with amature consumer applications like ClipChamp. Only easier to use for people unexperienced users. For professionals it is hard to understand, time consuming, mouse heavy, and extremely non-intuititve.

Create a process widget
Create a process widget. It would be great to have a process widget. The old version was a circle which is nice, but there could also be a horizontal option that shows a process for instances that do not repeat themselves in a cycle.
