Increase number of items allowed on Timeline widget
Please allow us to add more than 6 items/nodes to the timeline widget. An upper limit of 10-20 items on the timeline widget would be more reasonable. I understand that space may be limited with some of the current design options, but changes could be made to accommodate more items on the timeline.
For example, the design for the horizontal timeline could have a scroll arrow added to the screen, to allow users to scroll left and right and see further down the timeline. Alternatively, the design could be modified (or a new design added) to use a dedicated location or an overlay for all timeline callouts. This would allow for more items on the timeline without compromising on the space available for each callout.
Finally, the requested change could be made on vertical timelines (currently, the third design option) without affecting the layout at all. Since users would simply need to scroll further down to see additional nodes/callouts, this change would likely be easiest to implement.

This feature request is based on version 12.6 of the All-New Adobe Captivate, which currently has a limit of 6 items for the timeline widget, regardless of the design option selected.

Accessibility Bug: Screen readers announce radio buttons incorrectly
Two primary issues.
If using the question slide template, the multiple choice questions always announce as a group of checkboxes with screen readers, even if they are radio buttons. The toggle between single answer and multiple answer changes the state visibly, but not programmatically.
If using the Radio Group interactive component, the radio buttons correctly announce as radios, however, when navigating to the next radio option, the screen reader announces the previously selected option again in addition to the new option.
Example:
A radio group with options A, B and C.With JAWS or NVDA navigate to Option A, "Option A" announces. When navigating to Option B, "Option B, Option A" announces.

Carousel Widget and LMS Reporting
I want to be able to give the user points for clicking on the items of the carousel so I can see that they viewed each one. Currently it seems I can only report if they click on the arrow. If I have 4 items, and they keep clicking the arrow (say 6 times), do they keep getting points? Seems I should be able to report on the card states instead. If they only click on 2 of 4 cards, I want the LMS to report 2 as a reportable score.

Fix closed caption importing.
When I import closed captions, it creates captions that say "no audio" to fill all the blank space. This more or less renders the functionality useless.

Why can't you choose 1 image? The button icon shows a layout that you can not achieve.
If you look at the WIDGET to add - it shows an image on the left, and copy on the right. The Design option does not allow for 1 image. I want 1 Image and copy to the left like the widget. Please fix!!!!

Add Down One/Up One arrows to the slide navigator for stepwise rearrangement of slides.
It would be nice to have down one/up one arrows in the slide navigator to allow stepwise rearrangement of slides up or down in the stack. This is especially important since the drag-and-drop slide rearrangement is so buggy and imprecise.

retain initial closed caption text for text to speech
If I navigate to another slide while typing up my closed captions for text to speech, I lose all the input text unless I generate the audio. It would be nice if the captions were to retain themselves for when I return to that slide.

BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6
I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.
If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating to Slide A, yields a completely white screen with no feedback or info.
If I try to add a new accordion widget to Slide A, the same issues happen, but I am able to add them to other slides that never contained 12.5 accordion widgets without these issues.
I think the solution is to delete the problematic slides and re-create them from within 12.6, but I'd like to know if there is any other way around this.
PS - not sure what Category to put this in, there should be an Accordion Widget category to go with the other widget-specific categories.

Improve responsiveness in Drag & Drop
The responsiveness in the Drag & Drop widget is inexistent!
- The title and body text are on the top of each other in Tablet and Mobile mode
- The drag objects get very small when they are images
- The drag objects turn into numbers when they are text
- If drag objects are text, even in desktop mode they will be on top of each other inside the drag area, so you can't drag them to another place
- Using transparent images in the drag objects will make them crash
- you can't configure the positioning of components properly, so the final result is always a surprise
- Having only one dragging area is useless, as you can't configure only part of the drag objects to belong into one dragging area. So if you have only one dragging area, all the drag objects need to be configured to that specific area.

Improve the branding blocks Header and Footer
A few improvements that can be done in the branding blocks:
- Implement the option of making it persistent, so if the user scrolls through the content, the header or/and footer stays frozen above all the content.Ability to copy and paste the building blocks from one project to another, just so you don't have to remake all the configurations again in each of the projects. I have a dozen of projects that use branding blocks and need to build each one from scratch, this is annoying!
Include the header and footer in the Theme Editor, so when you apply a specific theme to a project, you don't even need to copy and past, the header and footer automatically appears there! - This is a fabulous idea I had, to be honest :-)

Text Box Functionality
Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.
I often find I am clicking a text box 3-4 times just to add or change text inside of a text box. Once I get into the text block I then need to click where I want the cursor to be, but it just unclicks the text block and I have to go through the process again. It's not difficult to click multiple times, but after having to do this to 50+ text blocks this simple little action can get very annoying very quickly.
Maybe implementing a single click into the field to allow you to input text would be better than the already multi-click approach.Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.

Create a menu in the font palette to set-up substitute fonts
It would be good to have a way to choose which fonts might substitute the fonts that the user does not have in their device or computer.
In my project, I am creating a module that uses Lato font. When opened in mobile, it substitutes for Georgia, but this is not the best option. In my case it would be best substituted by Arial.
You should create a form of hierarchy in the Font palette, where you choose the fonts that will substitute the fonts in your project.

Complex calculation expression
I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).
