Add extra actions to the widgets
When you add a tab widget it would be nice to be able to add our own actions to the buttons, this would allow us to add our own custom validation or extra text to appear after all tabs have been seen.
I would expect the actions to make the widget would be locked but we could add extra.
Another example would be to use the flip card widget as a way to create a knowledge check or show images if certain combinations are selected.

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.2 votes -
Input Field needs fully resizable option to accommodate simulation screens
The input field needs to be fully re-sizable to mimic a simulation environment like what can be done in Captivate 2019. Now an input field sticks out and cannot be formatted to match the simulated application environment

video webm format support
Today, the only format accepted by Captivate for videos is mp4. The webm format is more compressed than mp4, and would consume less bandwidth from the LMS.

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.2 votes -
Bug: Content width of widgets not adjustable
Some of the widgets cannot be adjusted in terms of the content width. If I use for example the tabs widget (Design Option), the width is preset to 92%. When I change the width for example to 80% the changes are adopted to the widget on the slide. But if change the slide an come back, the widget is agein displayed in 92% although the width value is set to 80%
The card widget (Verticle, bottom text) behaves the same.

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.)

Make default quiz buttons picked up by focus area for keyboard accessibility
The default quiz buttons can be tabbed through with a keyboard, but after you turn the focus setting on, the focus area does not appear on the default quiz buttons-- this means to make a truly accessible quiz you have to use custom quiz buttons. Please fix this.

Keep drop-down areas open unless I close them
In the Properties area, there can be many drop-down menus I'm trying to view when viewing Appearance or Interactions. Sometimes I need to switch between these to view a setting for an object, and I'll have just opened a drop-down menu. Then, it's closed when I come back to it. I've found that it would be much more user friendly to have these drop-down areas stay open once I've opened them even if I navigate to something else in Captivate. Then, it would be my responsibility to close them if I don't wan to view them any longer. For example,…

Bug_Active Adobe fonts not available in Captivate 12 but were in 2019
I designed templates in Captivate Classic with Georgia Pro and Sans Source Pro typefaces and using specific Semibold and Regular font style.
I've verified that the fonts are active in my account on Adobe.com, in Captivate 12 I only have access to Georgia (and only Bold, no semibold) and no Source Sans Pro at all, only Source Sans 3, italic.
Is there something specific I should do in the setup to make sure all the brand fonts are there?
