Update the online documentation
Unless I'm being very unobservant, It seems like all the online documentation for Captivate is for the old version. I keep trying to accomplish basic tasks such as changing the dimensions of the project, and am getting nowhere. This is a really unintuitive piece of software.

Spacebar as shortcut
In all Adobe applications which have a Timeline, the Spacebar is used as shortcut key to play/pause the slide. That worked also perfectly in previous versions of Captivate, if focus was on the Timeline panel.
In version 12 the behavior is inconsistent, sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. Once you switch to using the Play/pause buttons it looks like you lose the focus on the Timeline and Spacebar will not be functional. Rather frustrating to unlearn the use of the Spacebar after almost two decades.3 votes -
Bug: Closed Captions Variable doesn't work
If you hide the closed captions by setting the variable $$Project.ClosedCaptions$$ to false, the closed captions can no longer be displayed even if you set the variable to true again. This means you cannot use your own button to hide and show the Closed Captions.

Software simulation settings should be sticky
In 2019, when you created a software simulation it remembered size, location on screen and other settings. Now, each time I create a simulation, it asks me for the same details. This means if I have forgotten to take a screen or series of actions, the capture area is not in the same place. This means a lot of messing around to get the capture lining up with the software window. It's incredibly frustrating. Also, please remember the tracking setting! I don't want or need automatic tracking, so having it reset each time is irritating.

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.

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.

Captivate closing shortcut key change
why does ctrl + w close the project without saving in Captivate?? this is very useless and frustrating, especially when w is next to s on the keyboard, so I accidentally press w sometimes and lose progress!

Translations from one language to another
A great feature in keeping with the Sneak Peeks we were shown at ALS would be translating on-screen text from one language to another. In Canada, we are required by law to make learning available in both French and English. Automating as many of these processes would be beneficial. A one button solution for an entire project would be great.

Apply theme to all course elements
Some widgets/elements have icons or states that do not use the custom theme. They seem to use the colors from the default Light theme but should be using the custom theme applied to the project. See attachments showing the default blue instead of my custom theme.

Slide Enter triggers will not let you navigate to next slide (or previous slide)
I wanted to set a timer on a slide, so that it navigates to the next slide after a period of time. However, the Go to Next Slide (and Go to slide) are disabled for the Slide Enter triggers

Add GIF as a supported filetype for Image Background on the slide
If you use a media block, GIF files are listed in the filetypes dropdown. However, if you use 'Image background' for the slide, GIF files are not listed in the filetypes dropdown. If you manually enter the path to a GIF, they import as expected.

Multi Slide Synchronized Video
This is an issue with Classic Captivate that I discovered with a client. When I select a video that is set to span across several slides and edit the transition markers between slides, I cannot change the duration of each slide as I was able to in the past.

Ability to hover as a way to proceed on a slide
Ability to hover over an area on screen to proceed on a slide like you could before Flash went away for Adobe Captivate. This would only be for courses viewed on a desktop. Many simulations have hover actions.

Project Properties - Bug
I have noticed that the UI Components in Edit Theme will not allow me to select and change certain colors. I am unable to change button colors even if it is a preset color. Also, Edit Theme removes colors from my preset. All UI Components are experiencing issues customizing the colors.

Languages for text to speech, windows language support.
In Classic Captivate its possible to add text to speech support for languages supported from Microsoft Windows own (local) library. That feature would be much needed i guess for a lot of people, and could be considered a quick fix for massive language support instead of having a Captive Voices implementation.
