Bug- New Captivate Image grid crashing application
I created a Jeopardy board using image grids. There were 5 rows 6 columns. After putting images for 1 row of 6, every time I'd save or left/right click an image, the screen will go blank. Then I click file on the top. The top bar disappears. I tried reinstalling it, but the same thing occurred. Couldnt work in the project anymore since it would keep crashing so had to create a new one.

slide video controls
The Slide Video block needs to be rebuilt. What is expected is that this behave like an event video since this is how billions of users on You Tube et. al. interact with content on the web. Here is how it could work: Add video block to slide. Select Autofit height - video fills the block appropriately to project dimensions. Any additional blocks added to the slide should respect the autofit setting and not create an extended scroll. Furthermore, all of these settings should be respected in responsive design to each device (Desktop, Tablet, Phone). Lastly, the video should have all the necessary controls to play, pause, scrub, adjust volume, expand to full screen, and return to slide view. These basic and ubiquitous features will spare everyone the clunkiness of the current setup and provide more opportunities for advanced and modern features (i.e. bookmarks in play bar of video). In short, when it comes to video on slides, divorce it from the Timeline and provide the correct composition options and playback features that everyone expects.

Export/Import Project content closed captions
I have been experimenting with exporting and importing Project content and Closed Captions and have found that the process is not working as I would have expected. I opened one of the QSPs and started by exporting which resulting in the expected Word document. I made some small changes to the text and saved. I then begin the Import process and nothing seemed to have happened.

Issue with Overlapping Drop Answers
When multiple answers are placed in the same drop location, they stack on top of one another, making it difficult for the learner to see or distinguish between them. Ideally, answers should display side by side within the drop area. Additionally, learners should be able to move or adjust answers after they’ve been placed, without needing to reset the entire interaction if only one item is incorrect.

Try Again when failing a quiz
On the quiz results slide, if they fail the quiz the "Try Again" button should be the only button that is visible. Right now the continue button to advance the training is always present. This has caused some confusion for learners.

Include the Captivate 2019 video playbar re-wind and forward function in Captivate 13.0
Captivate 13.0 does not have video re-wind and forward functions. These functions are important for projects that require the learner to fully understand and confident in a process before moving on in the project. These missing functions are standard in video display

Need an easy way to edit the visual elements of question and answer slides
In Captivate 13.0, the UI lets you change fonts, colors, and other elements associated with question and answer slides. However, when you preview or publish, these adjustments are overridden by the CSS in the pre-defined Design Options. You can spend a lot of time making design adjustments that don't do anything.
While there appears to be a tech support article regarding editing the Design Option CSS and JSON files, we should not have to work at that level to simply make a visual change.
Also, many of the Design Options do not meet WCAG standards for contrast and accessibility, including light brown checkmarks on on tan background, or green text on a darker green background.
https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
Recommendations and request:
- Allow direct changes to question and answer slide design elements through the Captivate UI.
- Allow the user to "Save as...." those changes to Design Options to easily create new and persistent variations on Design Options without dropping to text editing of JSON and CSS files.In Captivate 13.0, the UI lets you change fonts, colors, and other elements associated with question and answer slides.

Report to LMS > Interaction ID Number Customization
It would be very helpful if we could set preferences that allow for customized naming convention for Interaction IDs that are shared with our LMS. Currently, we have to rename them each manually which is doable but costs a good deal of time. I would love it if in project settings I could configure a sequenced naming convention for scored items to follow. For instance, rather than the default three to four digits, configuring Interaction IDs to be named, LeadQ1, for a unit on leadership would be amazing. In this example, the '1' would increment as more scorable items were added. Some renaming may still be required, but the ability to establish a prefix and syntax would really help in generating and analyzing reports. Thank you for your consideration.

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.

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.

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.

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).
