  2. Upgrading to Captivate 13 has broken the 'download background image' function for software sims.

    I used this function regularly before but when I upgraded to Captivate 13 trying to use this function now just haywires Captivate out. After clicking this button I am unable to change slides or save my progress, forcing me to just force close and restart Captivate.

  3. Bug: FMR audio glitches

    Audio in FMR slides sometimes doesn't play; sometimes it sounds stretched and low pitched.

  4. Bug: Consolidating different simulations into a single file swaps FMR videos

    Because Captivate constantly crashes during the recording of simulations, I've decided to record shorter simulations and then consolidate them into a single file. The problem is, especially for FMR slides, the video is getting swapped — i.e., the audio is correct for that slide, but the video shown in the preview (and the SCORM output) is from a different slide. Captivate, however, shows the video as if everything were fine, so there is really no way fix it because for Captivate it's not broken.

  5. Bug: Recording simulations as a demo, a training, and an assessment at the same time doesn't usually work

    When recording is finished, at least one of them crashes.

  6. Allow autoplay of simulations

    Setting the course to autoplay doesn't work on courses that are only simulations. If that is by design, it should be made clearer.

  7. Bug: "Apply appearance" is only partial

    When copying the appearance between instruction boxes, only certain aspects of the boxes are copied (such as border and background colour) while others are not (font face and box corner radius).

  8. Bug: Layer blur area under instructions

    I have instructions and a blur area in my simulation, and if I move them to the same place the blur area covers the instructions. What would be the point of having instructions if I wanted them blurred? I can't think of a case where one wouldn't want the instructions to be on top of the blur area.

  9. Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate

    When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

  10. allow free movement of blocks

    The interface using a fixed block-based layout is awful. Jumping through hoops just to design a slide with a video where I want it and a text box next to it.

  11. Review rendering of transparent background images

    Transparent images in PNG or SVG format when used as background are showing a thin line like it was being tiled, even if the tile option is not selected.

    In the example attached, I have a simple SVG with an angled corner used as background, and on the bottom-right corner it displays a line of the same colour.

    The same happens with PNG images.

  12. Simplify Quiz design

    The ability to remove the quiz feedback captions. In 2019 you can drag them away from the slide to hide them. "Submit All" simplify the process for a range of quiz questions. Allow the selections of buttons that meets the design requirement. such as just a "back" and "next" button on each slide to navigate through the quiz. On the final quiz slide show the "Submit All" button to submit all the answers in one go.

  13. [Bug] Parent slide scrolls while overlay slide is active and scrolling

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    When an overlay slide is opened and the parent slide is taller than the viewport, both the parent slide and the overlay slide scroll simultaneously when the overlay content is scrolled. This causes the user to lose focus on the overlay and disrupts the intended user experience.

    Consequences:
    - Confusing focus shifts between the parent slide and the overlay slide
    - Weakened UX for dialogs and lightbox content
    - Accessibility issues, especially for keyboard navigation

    Suggestion:
    - The parent slide should not scroll while the overlay slide is active and being scrolled.
    - Only the overlay slide…

  14. [Feature] Overlay slides should be fully customizable

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    Overlay slides currently receive several automatic CSS properties that cannot be controlled:
    - Padding on .cp-overlay-slide
    - Padding on .cp-overlay-slide .cp-slide-wrapper
    - min-height values
    - box-shadow effects

    These defaults make it difficult to integrate overlays consistently into existing designs.

    Suggestion:
    Overlay slides should be customizable just like normal slides and appear exactly the same within the parent slide. Effects such as blur, box-shadow, etc. should be optional and configurable via the GUI.

  15. I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13

    I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13. I attended the Adobe Learning Summit and spoke to the developers about it, but have not received a resolution.

  16. Crashing during AI Avatar

    I have had a couple of attempts to create an AI Avatar for an imported PowerPoint. I was recording for YouTube at the time, submitted the crash using the crash report but thought it might be beneficial to see what I was doing at the time.

  17. [Bug] `textProps.fontWeight` is ignored during rendering

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    textProps values such as fontWeight set in designOption.json are displayed correctly in the Captivate UI, but are ignored in the final rendering and overridden by inline styles (e.g., font-weight: normal;). Other textProps (like textAlign) work as expected.

    {
  "tag": "slide-item-subtitle",
  "preset": "text-body-6",
  "customStyles": {
      "all": {}
  },
  "customProperties": {
      "alignmentAndSpacing": {},
      "textProps": {
          "fontWeight": "600",
          "textAlign": "center"
      }
  }
},

    In the rendered output, inline styles appear such as:

    font-weight: normal;

    Impact:
    - Inconsistent results between editor preview and actual output
    - Paragraph styles cannot be reliably overridden
    - UI feedback is misleading (shows correct…

  18. [Feature] Grid and Visible Borders for Design Options

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    When working in Captivate, visual aids such as grids, borders, or width and height indicators are missing. Apart from the highlight shown when directly clicking a Design Option or on slide overflow, the positioning of elements is difficult to control – especially for complex layouts.

    Suggestion:
    - Visible borders for Design Options and their sub-elements, optionally toggleable.
    - Fully customizable background grid, similar to Adobe XD or Figma, for better layout orientation.
    - Display of width and height measurements for placed elements.

  19. [Bug] Design Option “Image” does not respond correctly to grid styling

    Version: 12.6

    Problem:
    The “Image” design option partially fails to respond to grid styling defined in the designOption.json. The element container-image-text does not occupy the designated grid-area because it is not a direct child of the container-image-card element where the grid is applied.

    In Chrome DevTools, it is visible that the instruction

    grid-area: 1 / 1 / span 1 / span 1;

    has no effect because the target element does not participate in the grid context.
    See screenshot: design-options_image-01.png

  20. [Feature] Support for Character Styles for Inline Text

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    Currently, Captivate only supports paragraph-level formatting (Paragraph Styles). There is no way to define reusable character styles for quick and consistent inline emphasis. The existing “Highlight” inline element is too limited (no padding, margin, border, border-radius, etc.), leading to inconsistent workarounds and unnecessary manual inline formatting.

    Use Cases:
    - Highlighting key terms
    - Inline quotes / badges
    - Keyboard shortcuts / keycaps
    - Code snippets
    - Labels / status indicators

    Suggestion:
    Introduce freely definable character styles supporting:
    - color, background-color
    - font properties
    - padding, margin
    - border, border-radius

    Configurable in:
    - GUI (Theme-Editor)
    - theme.json

    Benefits:…
