  1. Bug - On slide entrance interaction, Hide components not working correctly

    When I set a slide entrance interaction, such as to hide components, I can see all hidden components for a split second and then they hide. Currently unusable.

  2. Bug - Timeline animation

    I have multiple components on my timeline, each of which has a entrance animation. I am finding if the components are staggered to come into the time line at intervals, of say 2 seconds, the entrance animation of only the 1st component works. Only if all components come into the timeline together does the entrance animation work for all.

  3. Deleting item on Timeline

    The only way to delete it at this moment is by using the right-click menu. I cannot use the Delete key on my keyboard. This may be due to the fact that I am NOT on a US keyboard, but on an AZERTY Belgian keyboard.

  4. Bookmark without interaction

    To create a Replay action (one of my most visited blog posts) in this version you need to rely on a Bookmark at the start of the slide timeline. However that bookmark will just be used as target for a Jump to interaction. At this moment it is impossible to have a bookmark without assigning an interaction to it. And the dropdown list has no option 'No action' as was available in previous versions.
    BTW when you insert a bookmark at the start of a slide with SVGs, those SVGs will temporarily disappear. You need to refresh to see them…

  5. Timeline missing feature - on entrance of component into timeline, pause timeline

    It would be very useful a feature to have a feature, whereby the timeline could be paused upon a component entering the timeline.

  6. Spacebar as shortcut

    In all Adobe applications which have a Timeline, the Spacebar is used as shortcut key to play/pause the slide. That worked also perfectly in previous versions of Captivate, if focus was on the Timeline panel.
    In version 12 the behavior is inconsistent, sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. Once you switch to using the Play/pause buttons it looks like you lose the focus on the Timeline and Spacebar will not be functional. Rather frustrating to unlearn the use of the Spacebar after almost two decades.

  7. Bug: Time ruler disappears on long slides

    On any long slide, typical for slide video, the project will always open with the timeline panel at maximum zoom. In that case the ticks on the time ruler simply disappear and are replaced by an emoticon. To get the ruler back, it is necessary to custom zoom.
    BTW I tried to upload a cpt project to illustrate what I explained but that is not possible.

  8. Bug: when replacing video by shorter video, slide duration is not adapting

    Using Slide video as only (media) object on a slide. On adding a video, timeline of the slide will get same duration as the video. However when replacing the video by a shorter video, the slide timeline will not adapt, keeps its original lenght. I am on version 12.2.
    BTW trimming a video leads to same problem, but causes lot more issues, learned to use Rush for trimming now.
