Hover state Image on quiz slide
Great that you can use images as answers. But something is wrong with the Hover state of those images. I dsiabled that state but it appears automatically after selection of an answer and submitting that answer, even if not hovering over the image. Even i manage to change the colors of the Hover state to be the same as in the Default state, the original Hover state will appear after submitting.

Deleting second step Submit Process
The only way to get rid of the feedback messages, a question I often get all over social media, is a clumsy workaround (will post a blog post and add the link here). To achieve this for a complete quiz, you can take out the Default labels, and set the system colors for Success and 'Error' (why do you use that term is a mystery) in the Theme to 0%. But... contrary to previous versions where taking out the feedback messages resulted in getting rid of the second step of the Submit process (click on slide or Y) tthat is…

Speech Management / Agent: Is it possible to have Australian accent as well?
Currently, only options available are limited (after installing) additional captivate voices. Even the windows language packs are not picked, up by Captivate.
So not much choice, as we have either American/British VO.

Make tabs widget buttons look like tabs
Currently there's no way to make the buttons at the top of the Tabs widget actually look like tabs. They can be either square or rounded, but not the rounded-top, square-bottom shape characteristic when people think of tabs. I've had client feedback not to use this widget type at all because their users don't recognise the buttons as clickable, since the first tab of text is already visible -- they just scroll past the rest. In other places in Captivate, there's the option to set component corner roundedness individually. Could we please implement it here?

Feedback captions disappear when duplicating a quiz slide
When the captions are shown on the original slide, they are hidden on the duplicate slide which is simple annoying if you are busy with editing the feedback messages. It is not that intuitive due to the UI to find that Show button again. Duplication should result in an identical duplicate.

captions move when adding new text
Force the caption to use the same font that it's used on the theme or add a caption style in the theme options to set up.

Confusion with Design Options on Slide vs Blocks
The design options are confusing, especially since I think there is a lot of mismatch between what appears in the Design Option properties panel for the Slide vs the Block.
- Add a new Conversation Slide
- Look at the Design Options for that slide. There are four. The first (upper-left) has a green background. The second (upper-right) has the speech cards appear at the very bottom of the images.
- Click on the Block itself
- Look at the Design Options for the block. There are also four. I suspect the are supposed to completely correspond with the design options for the slide.…

Videos with Time Markers
Slide Video Blocks [to a YouTube video] is not consiste with start/end time markers.
It seems as if support for the time markers (start/end time) does not work consistently. Here is an example file: https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/p89ko9u5bsij/default/YouTubeVideo_TimeMarkersNotWorking.cpt
This file contains two slides:
- Slide 1 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [relatively short] YouTube video. The time marker seemingly starts that the correct location every time.
- Slide 2 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [much longer] YouTube video. The time marker never starts at the correct location and is always different1 vote -
In-built states are missing from Captivate 12.2 [at least] for the Image Grid
It's easies to look at this file (https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/pwafpzqrnced/default/builtInStatesLost.cpt) for an example:
- Slide 1 uses the Image Grid and the States for this grid are missing InBuilt states
- Slide 2 was copied from an older version of Captivate 12 and includes the InBuilt states for the same widgetNOTE: This page includes an In-Built States section, even though the InBuilt states are missing from the Image Grid Widget: https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/help/states-adobe-captivate.html

Exporting not working
The "Exporting project content and closed captions" will not save. My team and I have tried, and we have the latest version. We could a few weeks ago. All it does is go to save, but it doesn't. Please help!

Ensure that Captivate will still function with iCloud sync of the Documents folder enabled.
Currently, if Mac users have iCloud sync of their Documents folder enabled, Captivate will not function properly. In particular, insertion of image blocks will fail with a message of “Something went wrong with content block insertion.” Users should not have to disable iCloud for Captivate to function.

Bug: uploading non-zipped output results in blank screen
To provide a link (or to embed) such output, I always upload (Fzilla) to my domain. Here is an example:
https://www.lilybiri.com/published/BookmarkStates/index.html
This URL however will not open anything, there was no error reported, just get a blank screen (Edge/Chrome).
Another user reported the same problem in the Adobe forum.
Weird: when uploaded to the eLearning community where AWS required a zipped output, it works fine although loading time is too long for a 14Mb file.1 vote -
BUG Can't input Japanese
When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.1 vote -
Impossible to have a blank list on Default state
To have a list entering line by line, I often start with a blank default state of the list, than add custom states where a next bullet is added etc.
The easiest way is to fill the default state with the full list, than duplicate as many times as needed, delete lines on each state. At the end I want to clear everything on the default state but that is impossible.
Will provide you directly with a project with that issue.1 vote -
Highlighting the search results from the TOC Search function
It would be great to have the function that the words I'm searching for in the TOC searching field would be highlighted on the slides. Like it would be if I'm searching in a PDF or with STRG+F.
My wishful thinking would be that you see a Preview of the sentence, where the word is included.

QuestionAnswerChoice buggy
Using this variable to create an interaction is not working at all, variable cannot be displayed neither. Is this linked with its type which is 'string'? In previous versions the variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice was very useful for many use cases.

make an easy way to make input fields mandatory and be resizable in width
Been trying to make the input fields mandatory before the learner can click on the next button, I have tried lots of different conditions as not empty, not equal to _null (setting this variable to another empty field) before it shows the next button nothing has worked so far. I have managed to go around and use the click object option before the learner can see the button but this is not ideal.
Also I don't see the need of a large input field that goes from one side to the other of the page but instead it would be…

Video demo has no Control panel on Timeline
Captivate Classic, Video Demo editor lost a lot of features. When switching to the editor, Timeline is no longer activated by default. You need to open it using the Window menu.
Moreover the control panel at the bottom of the Timeline, where you had tiny buttons for navigation, for trimming, splitting, add panning/zooming points, switch to mouse points editing has completely disappeared. It makes working with Video Demo a real pain.
Play/pause still is sometimes functional using the playbar, but that is not consistent (same as New Captivate). But for all other functionalities which were at the fingertips in previus…1 vote
