Blur does'nt work in preview
There is an issue with the blur area in software simulations with Captivate 12.4. When viewing the preview, the blur area does not hide the element on which it was placed in the project. Same thing when changing the view for phone or tablet devices in the preview.

Recording from within a project should have all three options for recording.
Currently recording simulation from within a project gives you radio buttons, therefore you can not record the demo, training, and assessment at the same time. This is useful if you have build up some knowledge slides then you wanted to add a software simulation as a demo and training for example.

allow slides to reset when the learner returns to a slide they have already viewed.
For software simulations in Training mode, once the learner has clicked on the click box and the slide advances, if they return to the slide, the click box doesn't work, and the instruction caption does not appear. Sometimes, learners need to go back a slide or two to review information again. The checkbox and instruction caption should be available for them to click on the second pass of a slide.

allow more freedom of movement with highlight boxes and text boxes.
Having the ability to move highlight boxes and text boxes with keyboard arrows allows for more precise placement.

Allow W and H fields of Custom to actively change as you manually size an application window.
When recording a software simulation in CpC, the width (W) and height (H) fields in the Snap to: Custom Size option actively change when manually sizing the application window. This allows us to visually verify the size of the application window. In new Captivate, the W and H fields in the Size: Custom option remain static when sizing the application window. (Note: Due to an application / Citrix issue, we have to manually size our application windows when recording software simulations. Simply entering the dimensions in the W/H fields does not work.)

Bug - using arrow keys removes text
When using the arrow keys to update text in a Software Simulation text box, any text entered disappears and goes back to the default 'Type instruction here' message. Seems this is just prior to saving and only using up and down keys.

Bug: Captivate chrashes when selecting the feedback of a clickbox in simulation mode
After recording a simulation, I wanted to format the feedback via status. Evertime I select the text in the feedeback and then click on "Text" in the properties (yellow marker, Bug1), Captivate chrashes (Bug2).
This always happens - both in existing and new projects.
I'm using version 12.0.0.2892 on Windows 10

Upgrading to Captivate 13 has broken the 'download background image' function for software sims.
I used this function regularly before but when I upgraded to Captivate 13 trying to use this function now just haywires Captivate out. After clicking this button I am unable to change slides or save my progress, forcing me to just force close and restart Captivate.

Bug: FMR audio glitches
Audio in FMR slides sometimes doesn't play; sometimes it sounds stretched and low pitched.

Bug: Consolidating different simulations into a single file swaps FMR videos
Because Captivate constantly crashes during the recording of simulations, I've decided to record shorter simulations and then consolidate them into a single file. The problem is, especially for FMR slides, the video is getting swapped — i.e., the audio is correct for that slide, but the video shown in the preview (and the SCORM output) is from a different slide. Captivate, however, shows the video as if everything were fine, so there is really no way fix it because for Captivate it's not broken.

Bug: Recording simulations as a demo, a training, and an assessment at the same time doesn't usually work
When recording is finished, at least one of them crashes.

Allow autoplay of simulations
Setting the course to autoplay doesn't work on courses that are only simulations. If that is by design, it should be made clearer.

Bug: "Apply appearance" is only partial
When copying the appearance between instruction boxes, only certain aspects of the boxes are copied (such as border and background colour) while others are not (font face and box corner radius).

Bug: Layer blur area under instructions
I have instructions and a blur area in my simulation, and if I move them to the same place the blur area covers the instructions. What would be the point of having instructions if I wanted them blurred? I can't think of a case where one wouldn't want the instructions to be on top of the blur area.

Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate
When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

Simulation Blur Area Enhancements
In software simulations where private information is consistently visible (ex: Financial Institutions, Healthcare Systems, etc.), it is difficult to make the sizing of blur areas consistent across slides in Assessment & Training Software Simulations. This could be distracting for end users, and doesn't enable the quality I'd like to deliver. Can you add the ability to copy/paste these blocks, input pixel measurements, or some kind of setting to allow the blur to appear on subsequent slides?

Text-to-speech Missing on Software Simulations
It seems after a software simulation mouse click is added to your project, you can't add text-to-speech. The work around I found was to remove all mouse clicks, then add the text-to-speech, and then go back and add the mouse clicks. It shouldn't be that picky.

Bug Report: On a simulation slide, deleting an object such as a clickable box does not delete the interactions for that object
There is a bug on the simulation slides in Captivate 12. If you add an additional click box, and interaction for that click box is automatically populated in the interactions pane. If you delete that click box, it is removed from the timeline, but the interaction remains. I have not yet found a way to delete the interaction.

Software Simulation Not Capturing on Training with 12.6
I just recorded a software simulation this morning and it did not capture any click boxes. I am using 12.6 and I was recording on my primary monitor.

Adjust timing of caption in simulation
On a slide with a software simulation, it would be helpful to be able to adjust the timing of the captions which appear on success, failure, or providing a hint. Better yet would be to add the standard "press y or click anywhere to continue" option to allow the learner to choose when to continue. Currently, when enabled, the captions do not remain onscreen long enough for the user to fully read the message.
