Bug - Slides size after software simulation
After creating a few normal slides, when adding larger software simulation slides, the "working area" of the previously designed normal slides has enlarged and is now the size of a software simulation slide, which suggests that the slides need to be adjusted. It would be nice if each view in the "work area" ,represented the size of the slide in the preview, depending on the slide type (normal or software simulation).

Play media from assets
When you add an interaction to a button you can have it "Play Media" but you can only select media from your file explorer, you cannot select anything from assets. Please allow us to select media from assets.

Ctrl+Z
Ctrl+Z doesn't work in French version. It shows "Save and quit" window, but it doesn't cancel the previous action. We need to clic on Modify Menu and Cancel (Menu Modifier et Annuel").

Missing Visited checkmarks on TOC when relaunching the scorm course on All new Adobe Captivate 12.3
I have uploaded 12.3 captivate course package on scorm 1.2. In success and completion criteria, I have selected Quiz is Passed. When I complete the entire course I am getting 100% on scorm as I have selected All the correct answer.
when we relaunch the course which is half completed previously, it is not showing checked for the previously selected slides in Table of Content. In Classic version, it shows the checked in Table of content for previously visited slides after relaunch the course.
Is this bug of All new Adobe Captivate 12.3 or I have missed some setting for…1 vote -
Allow users to capture camera and record the screen
Seems you can no longer capture a screen as a recording, and it seems that you can no longer have a camera running at the same time

Allow users to have more than 6 options on a dropdown.
We are currently limited to 6 options per dropdown. Sometimes we would like to have a 1-10 option or even select from 50 states... This element should allow as many options as needed.

Missing default labels
Localisation of quizzes is now a real pain. Another example: the text 'Select an option' in dropdown lists on matching question slides is missing in default labels. Result: you have to translate manually all those texts on the slides when they are created. See included screenshot.
This label was not available in previous versions neither under Default Labels in Quiz Preferences, but it was sufficient to do the translation on the Matching Master slide. Loss of those master slides has big consequences. Translating a quiz takes me now at least 10 times as long as in Captivate Classic. I don't…1 vote -
Status Flags
Allow status flags in the TOC again - it's great for our helpdesk people to troubleshoot users with issues completing modules - they can see if they've skipped anything. Right now flags show the first time through, but disappear after.

Touch screens
I know that Captivate Classic never has enabled the possibilities of touch screens, but for an application created from scratch, ignoring this is a pity. Why cannot I rearrange the actions in an interaction by dragging? The Up/Down arrow are not functional to rearrange the actions within one interaction. The old iPad app could use a touch screen, on my Surface Pro I only have difficulties within this new version. I can accept that for the canned templates and blocks, but not for something like actions in an interaction.

Translation Back/Next in Preferences
Preferences, Quizzing, Default labels give the opportunity to translate also labels for buttons (not all). Back/Next labels are there, and they are used during Review in all situations, but the translation is not applied. This means, that the developer needs to translate all buttons individually on each slide. Same is the case for all buttons on the Score slide. Since there is no On Enter event for that slide, nor the possibility to add custom states to the buttons you cannot use that score slide when you have question slides in multiple languages in one project. I really hope that…

Hint message???
In Preferences, Quizzing, Default Labels there is a 'Hint message' but after in-depth exploring this has no sense. There is no way to activate a Hint to appear, the multistate objects for the feedback messages during quizzing and Review do not have a Hint state at all. Moreover it is impossible to add custom states to any button, including the embedded buttons on quiz and score slides. I tried with multiple attempts on question level, where a hint would make sense from the second attempt, but situation is the same.

Editing Theme Fonts appears Broken
When I edit the theme fonts and select "other" after selecting my font, I get a white screen. If I close out of it and and reopen the theme editor, it reopens to that. If I then change my theme and attempt to edit it, it again goes to that white screen.
I have attached a short screenshare. Incase that doesn't work, here's a download link from dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/okruc67npsjsa8r6mfnao/Captivate-Error.mp4?rlkey=j3506e58znmkmul4x7f9orkir&dl=0

I've had learner feedback that the scroll bar to scroll down the screen goes away unless your mouse is on the screen. This means they are often disorientated as when they don't see the scroll bar they assume there is nothing to scroll down to.
The scroll bar should always display if there is a need, and not show at all if there is not a need. The colour should also have enough contrast for accessibility reasons.

Combi characters not accepted anywhere
In previous versions this was a limitation for international users with a non-US keyboard only in widgets/learning interactions. But now it is the case for all text and this really bad. A combi character is where you need to use two keys to get the result, which is the case for most non-US keyboards needing a much larger set of characters. One example in Dutch: when two identical characters are in sequence but need to be pronounced both separately we need to put two points at its top (similar to the umlaut in German): 'creëren' has them on the second…

Combination characters in CSV replaced by Chinese characters
Dutch, like many other European languages has some combination characters. When I have the word 'creëren' in een CSV file, the two characters 'eë' after import are replaced by one chinese character. Too bad that I can't add a screenshot. I used Gill Sans as font. I am able to delete the chinese character, but there is no way to have the second ë with the double points on top appearing in any answer. This is a real important bug!

Confusing Error log after CSV import
Since there is no longer an Advanced Interaction panel to check the total score possible, I use the SUM functionality of Excel to calculate the total score in the score column. I had 7 questions, an empty line and than the sum. When importing the CSV both the empty line and the sum line are considered to be uncomplete questions and you get an error log with a lot of errors, whereas this is not important at all. It is nice that you can override the errors and import. However I imagine that this can be confusing. Not a game…

TRUE/FALSE translation in CSV not imported
I try to localise a quiz, and replaced TRUE/FALSE by its Dutch version, sometimes 'WAAR/ONWAAR' or JA/NEE'. However after import to a project, the default TRUE/FALSE replaces the translation. This is a bug. Even for English versions it is sometimes better to have other terms than TRUE/FALSE, depending on the question.
