Unrestrict element placement and size.
Currently unable to place button anywhere within the button field. All have to be together within the field, meaning limited design options. Also Icon buttons, should be able to re-size the icon within the button. Elements on screen, such as Text and Image, should be easily changed in size. At the moment, very restricted as to how the course will look. Classic Captivate was ideal as we had free rein over the design.

Bug: Can no longer Preview or Publish
I'm having an issue since the 12.5 release. I have a project with 100+ slides and new AI voices. When I preview or publish, I get only a blank screen that appears to load, then nothing happens. I can not publish anything now.

Slide Navigator Bug
The slide navigator in version 12.5 incorrectly shows half slides. To reproduce, I select a slide, go to audio and add an AI text to Speech with the Timeline showing. Then, I attempt to update the button on the timeline to show for the entire slide. Upon returning from this action the slide view shows only half the slide and a blank areas where the timeline shows. If you scroll the the slides up and down, the slides will correct themselves. See the screen shot with items in red. Other slides in purple look fine because I have not added…

TOC - Drag & Drop operation not working properly
The drag and drop features are not working correctly in the TOC. This is happening in 12.4 & 12.5. Create a larger project. Try dragging and dropping TOC items from the bottom of the TOC list to the top. The scroll does not work properly. If you scroll using the mouse wheel, the item you are trying to drop is lost from the drag operation. It seems you can only drop an item a few entries or else it drops in a random place or back in it's original position within the list.

mouse click sound
When I preview a slide, the sound of the mouse click during the mouse movement plays at the beginning of the animation even though the timeline shows it near the end. There is also no way to adjust the time when a mouse click plays. Sometimes I want to fine tune it. It does play correctly when published. Just the preview has this issue.

Add completion status for click-to-reveal for slide interactions
. . . so that a slide interaction on a slide that has the click-to-reveal widget can depend on whether all the cards in the widget have been click.
This is because the forward and back buttons are much more prominent than the "X" in the top right of the revealed card. Users don't see the "X" and mistakenly click on the back button instead trying to return to the front of the card. If you have completion status for the click-to-reveal widget, those buttons could be hidden until the user has clicked on all the cards.

allow text boxes to be resized
text boxes are fixed width and cannot be resized to accommodate for other objects or portions of an image. this is completely restrictive. even text boxes that are inserted manually (vs choosing one of the very fixed slide templates) cannot be resized.

TOC Editor Needs Serious Improvement
Changes aren't always saved. Random groups get added. Expanding a group sometimes duplicates it in the TOC. If you have a large image on the first slide, the TOC structure gets compressed in the editor window so nothing can be changed. The window won't resize, the only option seems to be to close the TOC editor window and restart the whole project.

Character block not displaying characters as expected
I used the character block with the standard design option. Added my own images and the result when previewed isn't what it looked like in design mode. I would love to know what I've done wrong.

Blur does'nt work in preview
There is an issue with the blur area in software simulations with Captivate 12.4. When viewing the preview, the blur area does not hide the element on which it was placed in the project. Same thing when changing the view for phone or tablet devices in the preview.

Buttons are not taking the correct Breakpoints for responsiveness

When I add videos to new Captivate it does not extend the duration of the slide like it did in Classic Captivate.
So if I have 2 videos on a slide, I have to add up the time in my head, e.g. 8 mins, and go to the timeline and drag it to (60sec x 8 = 480 sec) which is annoying coz unlike Classic Captivate I can't just type somewhere to extend the slide duration.
Unfortunately I have to do this coz the TOC shows the slide duration so students are thinking each slide only takes a minute but…

More Components in widgets, Customize my layout adjust the alignment
in the drag and drop widget, I can only add 6 drag components which is too less at least it should be 20. Similar issues In other widgets. Also, I can't customize the layout of my own too many editing limitations, can't edit designs of my own plus the suggested designs are very few.

BUG - Captivate (12.4) buttons automatically stack on mobile when multiple in same object
On new Captivate (12.4) buttons automatically stack if there are more than one (side by side) on mobile even when there is horizontal space. This can give a horrible user experience and needs to be corrected to be properly responsive.

IPAD/IPHONE Accessibility Issue Adobe Captivate 12.4
We have developed a course using Adobe Captivate 12.4 and are testing its accessibility on iPad and iPhone with VoiceOver enabled. We are encountering the following issues:
We have added multiple-choice questions using Adobe Captivate’s default Multiple Choice Question slide template. When selecting an option, the focus unexpectedly moves to the sidebar instead of staying on the selected option. This issue only occurs on iPad and iPhone; on Mac and Windows, the focus remains on the chosen option.
When selecting any interactive button—such as the "Next" button on the playbar or the "Table of Contents" button—the focus shifts to an…
