  1. 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.

  3. 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

  4. Issue: online connection must always be maintained to avoid crashes

    Without staying online all the time, Captivate won't work reasonable. Is there any chance to work offline? It seems there is a sync to APIs all the time. In times of crashing internet access this leads to crashes and unlimited loading bar.

  6. Bug: horizontal button position offset in export and preview

    It is a regular bug in all exports and previews. The button position inside a media block has an horizontal offset. It looks ok in the live view in Captivate Charm.

  10. Open URL or File Incompatible with Share for Review

    When I have buttons that open a PDF file using the Open URL or File action, my PDF isn't published with Share for Review. This adds steps to my Share for Review workflow that I prefer I would not have to do.

  11. Share for Review Show Slide Number for Quick and Easy Revisions

    In the Share for Review feature, it would be helpful to know what slide number a reviewer comments on so developers can navigate quickly to that slide. Many eLearning modules have slides that look the same, especially question slides, so knowing the slide number would be helpful.

  12. 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.

  13. Buttons are not taking the correct Breakpoints for responsiveness

    I created a quiz with multiple choice questions. Uploaded it to the Adobe ALM. Tested it in Safari on an ipad PRO and the buttons are not displaying properly in landscape mode.

  14. isabel.yeo@enlighten-opex.com

    When I add videos to new Captivate it does not extend the duration of the slide like it did in Classic Captivate.

    So if I have 2 videos on a slide, I have to add up the time in my head, e.g. 8 mins, and go to the timeline and drag it to (60sec x 8 = 480 sec) which is annoying coz unlike Classic Captivate I can't just type somewhere to extend the slide duration.

    Unfortunately I have to do this coz the TOC shows the slide duration so students are thinking each slide only takes a minute but…

  15. More Components in widgets, Customize my layout adjust the alignment

    in the drag and drop widget, I can only add 6 drag components which is too less at least it should be 20. Similar issues In other widgets. Also, I can't customize the layout of my own too many editing limitations, can't edit designs of my own plus the suggested designs are very few.

  16. Custome fonts not working

    We recently created a course in Captivate 12 using custom fonts and published it as a SCORM package for the client. During the client's review, they flagged an issue, that the fonts did not appear correctly.

    After meeting with the client, we discovered that the issue was due to the custom fonts not being installed on their system. While installing the fonts locally resolved the issue, this is not a sustainable solution, as the client's large user base cannot be expected to install these fonts individually.

    The font ‘IBM Plex Sans’ is available on the Google Fonts site, but it’s…

  17. Bug: Web Link doesn't work if prior text is Italics or Bold

    When you add a web link, if any text prior to the link is modified (other than plain ... like bold, underline or italics), the resulting web link does not work on the slide.

  18. Out of tries message on results slide

    The results slide only shows feedback for success or failure. Since you can limit the number of attempts a student can try the quiz, I would like to have an Out of Tries type message that would be triggered when the student has used up their attempts and failed the last attempt at the quiz. This way, I can write something like please see your supervisor for the next steps. I have a workaround, but I always prefer Adobe Captivate to have the built-in functionality. It makes development much more effortless. Here is the workaround: https://youtu.be/6Z-bU8DXlu4

  19. Restrict Navigation until Slide End

    Many stakeholders request that navigation be turned off until the slide/audio completes, i.e., forced navigation. In order to accomplish this currently, I have to either create my own navigation buttons or hide the playbar upon slide enter and show it at the end of the slide. The latter option isn't feasible because users can no longer toggle closed caption on/off while audio is playing. Both workaround options are time consuming.

    I propose adding a feature that allows the developer to disable only the forward button (not the entire playbar) until the slide audio completes.

  20. BUG - Captivate (12.4) buttons automatically stack on mobile when multiple in same object

    On new Captivate (12.4) buttons automatically stack if there are more than one (side by side) on mobile even when there is horizontal space. This can give a horrible user experience and needs to be corrected to be properly responsive.
