Bug - Image Grid Text Overflow with Card Enabled
On the image grid design option "Image Grid Vertical C1" there is a bug when you enable the card component.
When the card is enabled, the text area for the caption and subtitle go past the boundary of the card. The issue persists at all content widths. If you make the content 100% wide and preview the slide, the text gets cut off.
If I add padding to the cards at 30px, it pushes the text back into bounds, but that doesn't fit with my other card designs.
If there is a way to adjust this in the JSON files before the bug can be fixed, can you let me know? I would really like to use this design option but I also need to enable the cards.

report for quiz settings
Recommend a report that shows all of the interactions that are set to 'include in quiz'.
I'm using Captivate 12.3, and I accidentally clicked on some text boxes to 'include in quiz.' It was a lengthy process to click every single text box and button in my project to find the two random text boxes in my quiz totals.

Export Captions: add slide number and/or label
The exported Word document has become even longer than in older versions due to all the multistate objects. The IDs in the first two columns have never made sense to me but in previous versions the last column indicated the slide number. Please add at least that number or if possible also the slide label. It is almost impossible at this moment to find specific items. The possibiliy to hide the superfluous states for buttons would be a great improvement as well. The document at this moment is not very friendly for localisation, which took many steps backwards also for quizzes.

Bug?--drag and drop target states

New Captivate Backup file Icon displays as Classic Icon
Currently, the new Captivate backup file icon appears identical to the classic Captivate icon. To ensure clarity and avoid mix-ups between the two applications, the new Captivate backup file icon should be displayed as the new Captivate icon.

Bug: carousel indicator dots not showing
Occasionally when published, carousels with 'indicator' checked in the feature options are appearing without the indicator dots/dashes when published. I'm sure there's a commonality between them but for the time being can't work out what it is -- seemingly random.

Remove solid black border from overlays
When an overlay first appears it is surrounded by a solid black border even if no border is selected.
It should be possible to remove this.

Draw Hotspots of different shapes rather than just Images inside a square
You should be able to draw a hotspot as a vector rather than just have an image placed inside a square place holder (with the entire square being a clickable hotspot).
This is so that you can click on part of an image below the hotspot.

Preview starting always on slide 1 (v12.3)
in the new update v12.3 the preview always starts on the first slide and not the current active slide, as before. It would be great, if it starts at the current (active) slide again.

Quick Start Projects in 12.3
Some bugs:
Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not demonstrated?Some bugs:

Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection
Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.
So the company CI must be fully applicable.
Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.

Fix text formatting bugs
It's great that there are three distinct text sizes for desktop/tablet/mobile. However, I believe there's a bug with the way these display.
If a text element contains formatted text (e.g. bold, italics), the break point for the size change seems to happen at a different time to the rest of the text.
For users, this manifests as seemingly random paragraphs or headings displaying as smaller/larger than the rest of the text (see screenshot, where all text shown has the same style settings in Captivate. The only difference is whether the paragraph contains any words in bold/italics.

Film strip
When you click on a slide in the film strip can you apply a larger stroke to highlight the slide? It would make it easier to see what slide you are on.

Multiple failure captions
Give back the multiple Failure captions for questions with multiple attempts. It used to be 3 in all older versions, but I wouldn't mind more than 3.
Since the captions are now states in a multistate object. But is impossible to add states to this object and even if that was possible, there is no way to address that object with an interaction, since it is an embedded object without ID.
Look at this workflow which I recently demonstrated for a user. The workflow with the failure captions works also in a responsive project with Fluid Boxes, but not in Charm. The highlight workflow works not in any responsive project workflow due to the fact that it needs stacking two objects.
I wanted to upload the output file like in the eLearning com
munity but that is not allowed. Have a look at the blog itself in that case.

Speech Management / Agent: Is it possible to have Australian accent as well?
Currently, only options available are limited (after installing) additional captivate voices. Even the windows language packs are not picked, up by Captivate.
So not much choice, as we have either American/British VO.

Copy/Paste Appearance
It is impossible at this moment to use copy/Paste appearance from a normal button style to the Submit button on a quiz/score slide. Allow this please, instead of having to repeat the styling for each slide.

cpInfoElapsedTimeMS and cpInfoEpochMS, back please
These two system variables (their original name) have been taken out. Those were the variables I have used so many times when timing was important in multiple situations. I already got questions on social media where these variables could be used to time something based on a duration. It could probably be solved without these variables in some situations if at least dynamic bookmarks were available.
