  2. Fix problem where pasting from external program pastes text twice.

    Pasting text from browser or acrobat pastes the text twice for some reason. Then I have to delete half of what is pasted. Why does it do this? Please fix this problem.

  3. Audio in Hotspot widget to play when hotspot is clicked

    If you allow to add audio to the callouts, whether to the image or the text, this would be a simple but very useful enhancement.

  4. Create a process widget

    Create a process widget. It would be great to have a process widget. The old version was a circle which is nice, but there could also be a horizontal option that shows a process for instances that do not repeat themselves in a cycle.

  5. Block for "previous" and "next" buttons in Interactions.

    Create a block for previous and next buttons that can be added to any slide. This appears along with the widgets, but a fast way to add that same design to any slide would be great. Currently you have to create 2 buttons and the change the design as well as program the 2 buttons.

  6. adaptive simulation

    either make the simulation adaptive to mobile like the rest of the projects or remove the requirement for all projects to be responsive. Simulation doesn't on mobile screen and scrolling over is not helpful.

  7. Allow overlay images (ie. click to reveal) expand to the whole overlay if there's no text element.

    At the moment, if there's no text element the image still remains small. If there's no text element, it should expand to take up the whole overlay.

  8. Add GIF as a supported filetype for Image Background on the slide

    If you use a media block, GIF files are listed in the filetypes dropdown. However, if you use 'Image background' for the slide, GIF files are not listed in the filetypes dropdown. If you manually enter the path to a GIF, they import as expected.

  9. Button States not updating - Even on publish

    As the title says - Button states wont update even on publish. The file reflects the changes to the button state, but the publish is showing old text and wont reflect the actual change that's in the file

  10. Bug - Training and Assessment Simulations - Typing Text

    I've created a software simulation in Captivate 12 for Microsoft Word in which the learner starts by typing the text
    =lorem(4,8)
    When I run the training or assessment and type in the text above, it fails. I checked the Input Text field in Captivate and saw that it had ignored the fact that I had held down the Shift key to create the parentheses and so it was waiting for me to type: =lorem98,40
    This needs to be fixed!

  12. Bug - Title text being cut off

    Text is being cut off in the title. The text looks normal on the stage, and I have plenty of padding above and below the text, but hanging parts of text like the tails of a y or g are getting cut off inexplicably and I cannot fix it.

  14. Bug: Linked PDF will be implemented after first publishing

    there is a bug using the action "open URL or File". If I select a PDF from my system and publish the course, everthing is fine and Captivate places the PDF in the output correctly. However when I publish the course again, the file is not included in the dirctory even if no changes have been made to the file.

    So if you want to use the "open URL or File" action, you have to select the file again before each publication.

  15. Bug - Cannot submit answers

    Here is the adobe forum where I was asking about this and the steps I took to try and correct it: https://elearning.adobe.com/2023/08/captivate-12-unable-to-select-quiz-answer-in-published-course/#comment-353158

    I have a quiz with 10 questions. You can see the quiz here: https://app.cloud.scorm.com/sc/InvitationConfirmEmail?publicInvitationId=0cfcc50d-f581-446a-a5e0-b41fc1d3e602

    When you get to question 2, you cannot submit an answer. If you close the SCORM Cloud window and relaunch it, you can continue. But when you get to question 9, the same thing happens. If I am in my regular LMS, the same thing happens but the only way to continue is to switch to a new browser. I have no idea why…

  16. Trigger actions for objects on other slides

    I'm writing a conditional advanced interaction where I would be required to Show or hide a paragraph block on another slide depending on the value of a variable. I cannot reference this paragraph block because it's on another slide. This limitation means writing twice as many advanced interactions

  17. 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…

  18. Bug - Shortcut to move blocks

    It would be helpful to move bocks with the arrow up and down. As a default shortcut, it could be Alt+UP and ALT+Down. The drag and drop feature is not always efficient.

  19. Make zoom optional

    When you hover over a card, it automatically zooms in. If you've used a headshot image, it's odd that it zooms in on their face. Zoom in on hover should be optional

  20. 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.
