  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. Incorporate ability to add two more blocks side-by-side by adjusting the block width.

    Ability to add two or more blocks side-by-side by allowing to adjust the width of the blocks. This will help when navigation buttons or similar small elements are to be placed by the side of a text or other content blocks.

  10. Preview starting always on slide 1 (v12.3)

    in the new update v12.3 the preview always starts on the first slide and not the current active slide, as before. It would be great, if it starts at the current (active) slide again.

  11. Fix text formatting bugs

    It's great that there are three distinct text sizes for desktop/tablet/mobile. However, I believe there's a bug with the way these display.

    If a text element contains formatted text (e.g. bold, italics), the break point for the size change seems to happen at a different time to the rest of the text.

    For users, this manifests as seemingly random paragraphs or headings displaying as smaller/larger than the rest of the text (see screenshot, where all text shown has the same style settings in Captivate. The only difference is whether the paragraph contains any words in bold/italics.

  12. Film strip

    When you click on a slide in the film strip can you apply a larger stroke to highlight the slide? It would make it easier to see what slide you are on.

  13. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
