  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  6. Add Ability to Lower Slide/Thumbnail Resolution to Improve Editing Time

    Currently the program is super slow, and it's frustrating sitting there waiting for thumbnails of slides to process before I can even click them. I wish there was a way we could lower the resolution of our slides/thumbnails (like how Adobe After Effects allows you to lower the resolution to 1/4 or 1/2 to enable faster editing).

    I don't need my slides and thumbnails to look perfectly crisp while editing and if they were lower resolution in the editor it might help me speed up my process.

    I use some animated GIFs as images, and in the thumbnails Captivate is…

  7. Playhead Not Accurate In Timeline

    This is especially noticeable when I've just added a new audio to the slide. I add the audio, press play on the timeline, and the playhead is frozen in place while the audio plays uncontrollably in the background. Eventually the playhead starts moving, but it's inaccurate. When the screen is frozen and the audio is playing, I have to just sit there and wait for the playhead to start moving. If I click anything before the playhead starts moving again, the program can crash or freeze.

    I've noticed the timeline is pretty inaccurate in general, and I have to time…

  8. Add interaction to video grid based on video progress

    I would be helpful if we could add interactions to video grid blocks based on user progress. For example, I would like to add an interaction that enables a button, but only after the user has watched a certain percentage of each video in the grid.

  9. Click to Reveal widget issue when using custom images

    I have the latest version of the all-new Captivate (12.5) and I'm experiencing a bug with the "Click to Reveal" widget when trying to use custom images. To replicate this issue: In the click to reveal widget, add a custom image and change its display from "fill" to "fit", do the same for the "Hover" state. Try to preview. The only thing that shows in the page is "Something went wrong!"

    This error happens only when using "Fit" as the display, it works fine when using "Fill" so I'm guessing that it's something to do with the states.

  10. 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.

  11. change the hand cursor placement so it is over the click box, not instruction box

    When taking a course that includes a Training software simulation, the cursor changes to a hand when the learner hovers over the Instruction caption but not the click box. I don't see a way to change this, or just remove the hand cursor from appearing over the Instruction caption.

  13. Accessibility Bug: Screen readers announce radio buttons incorrectly

    Two primary issues.

    1. If using the question slide template, the multiple choice questions always announce as a group of checkboxes with screen readers, even if they are radio buttons. The toggle between single answer and multiple answer changes the state visibly, but not programmatically.

    2. If using the Radio Group interactive component, the radio buttons correctly announce as radios, however, when navigating to the next radio option, the screen reader announces the previously selected option again in addition to the new option.

    Example:
    A radio group with options A, B and C.

    With JAWS or NVDA navigate to Option A, "Option…

  14. Carousel Widget and LMS Reporting

    I want to be able to give the user points for clicking on the items of the carousel so I can see that they viewed each one. Currently it seems I can only report if they click on the arrow. If I have 4 items, and they keep clicking the arrow (say 6 times), do they keep getting points? Seems I should be able to report on the card states instead. If they only click on 2 of 4 cards, I want the LMS to report 2 as a reportable score.

  15. Add Down One/Up One arrows to the slide navigator for stepwise rearrangement of slides.

    It would be nice to have down one/up one arrows in the slide navigator to allow stepwise rearrangement of slides up or down in the stack. This is especially important since the drag-and-drop slide rearrangement is so buggy and imprecise.

  17. Improve responsiveness in Drag & Drop

    The responsiveness in the Drag & Drop widget is inexistent!

    • The title and body text are on the top of each other in Tablet and Mobile mode
    • The drag objects get very small when they are images
    • The drag objects turn into numbers when they are text
    • If drag objects are text, even in desktop mode they will be on top of each other inside the drag area, so you can't drag them to another place
    • Using transparent images in the drag objects will make them crash
    • you can't configure the positioning of components properly, so the final result is…

  20. Text Box Functionality

    Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.
    I often find I am clicking a text box 3-4 times just to add or change text inside of a text box. Once I get into the text block I then need to click where I want the cursor to be, but it just unclicks the text block and I have to go through the process again. It's not difficult to click multiple times, but after having to do this to 50+ text blocks this simple little action can get very annoying very quickly.
    Maybe implementing a single click into the…
