Ensure font consistency based on Theme Editor; ensure consistent "fall-back" fonts
If a user does not have fonts listed in the theme editor, the fall-back font use appears inconsistent. For example, two boxes on the same slide may both be selected as Heading 6 but appear as two completely different fonts to the viewer.
Even when using basic fonts available to all users, some learners see a different font than I see in the preview and published modes. Fonts are, at time, inconsistent to what I have in the preset fonts for the module.
Ensuring font consistency is crucial to the deployment of a professionally streamlined product.

Slide video sometimes restarts the video
I have several slides with slide video blocks, each of which displays a different MP4 video file. The project is hosted on a web server, not an LMS. I noticed that when I updated the videos, and re-uploaded the project to the web server, the videos would often spontaneously restart anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds into the video. The problem was more pronounced after I cleared my browser (Edge) cache, and the restart problem seemed to go away after I ran the project a few times. This led me to believe it was related to how the slide video block cached or retrieved the video.
My hosting service provides a Content Delivery System (CDN) service, which I enabled to see if it would help the problem. The problem went away completely. While the CDN solved the problem, this issue has not surfaced before. Something has changed in the way that slide video requests byte ranges for video, or something related to caching or video retrieval. Developers should not require access to a CDN service to get their project videos to play without spontaneously restarting.
My request is that the code for slide video playback be improved such that restarts do not happen, and a CDN is not required to avoid video restarts.
Also please reference Adobe Case ADB-45552178-C2J3, which is where I reported this issue. Since the CDN solved the current issue, the case was closed.

Use the Project Name in Preferences for the tab description, rather than the filename
Currently there is a line in the assets > js > project.js file as follows:
pN:'My Captivate project filename.cpt'
The value for pN is set to the filename and extension of the Captivate Project. This is also the value that is shown as the browser tab description when running the project in a browser. It would be better if, instead of showing the filename - which has little interest to the user - it instead shows the Project Name under Project Information in the Preferences. The Project Name can be set to something meaningful to the user, which would likely be something different than the Captivate Project filename.

Bug - Tabs Widget does not show correctly in preview
When using the Tabs Widget in captivate all looks fine but in preview in Horizontal Mobile (only) all texts is cramped into the right side. When you remove the image element there is no such problem. It seems that the picture does not resize, therefore not space is left for the text. It is a shame because this widget has a lot of use cases in learning. See attached media. Any idea of fixes will be welcomed.

Create the ability to insert videos to auto play and place and shrink wherever it's needed by the user
Currently, if you want to insert a video, it creates a rectangular prison that doesnt allow the video to be moved (for me, I created an animation in Adobe express and uploaded it as an MP4 into Captivate- since it is an ADOBE product, it should be integrated into other adobe programs)
It also doesnt allow for resizing beyond a certain size regardless if you undo auto.

Create a image comparison slider widget
Since you have created the like slider could you also create a image comparison slider widget like this
I have been using sliders like this in the web object but it preforms really badly in the mobile view.

Being able to add to the number of checkbox rows within interactive components
As seen in the 2 attached screenshots, there is no way to add/increase the number of checkboxes (as an interactive component) for use in a checklist type of a scenario. Currently multiple separate checkbox components will need to be created for a workaround which is a lengthy process as spacings need to be changed.

Make it easier to change AI-generated voiceover word pronunciation
I'm finding it difficult to get the text-to-speech to pronounce certain words correctly. Currently, I want it to say "lead" (the metal - rhymes with "bed"), but the AI-generated voice will only pronounce it "lead" (to guide, rhymes with "seed"). When I type in "led" to try and correct this, the voiceover spells it out (as in, "LED" light). Is there a way to adjust the pronunciation? If not, this would be a helpful feature.

Mouse Properties - Size Apply to all slides
In Classic I could amend my mouse properties so that a mouse click only lasted for 1 second and was a straight path and I always positioned at the first part of every slide to make editing a lot easier and then I would apply to all slides - can we please have this feature in New Captivate - otherwise it makes editing ten times as long without it

Slide Customization
While the slide and widget templates are helpful, it would also be useful to allow for customization of blank slides. This allows the designer to create custom layouts much as Articulate Storyline does

Configure UI to emulate PowerPoint
The Captivate UI is not terribly intuitive. The solution would be much easier to learn and implement if you revised the UI to emulate a tab style format similar to PowerPoint.

Bug: Import PPT slides results in "Something went wrong." screen in 13.1.1 update.
From the Home screen, I select the Import> PowerPoint Import option. I select my PPT file, Captivate shows me all the slides and verifies the selected slide. I click "Import" and get an error screen. This is in the new 13.1.1 version.

Allow imported PPT slides to adjust to full screen 1920x1080 resolution to match full screen software simulations.
When I combine full screen simulations (1920x1080) with an imported PPT file, the simulation resolution pinches down to the smaller ppt (desktop) resolution. When I preview it, the simulation can no longer be viewed in full, it contains scroll bars in order to see the entire screen. When I try to import a ppt into a screen simulation, I receive a message that this cannot be completed. It is problematic.

Enable the image space to be adjustable.
Right now, there is dead space on top and bottom of the image added to the widget. If I add an image that is less height than that prescribed area, that space should be able to be reduced so reduce the dead space in the page.

Certificate widget exits the slide unexpectedly
I have a certificate widget on the last slide of my project. The Certificate Download is toggled ON. I have noticed on several occasions that when I try to click the Certificate Download icon in the top right of the certificate, the project exits and completes the exit action specified in the Preferences > Project > Project End, before I can click on the Certificate Download icon. I have added two buttons below the certificate widget, and the expected behavior is that I have all the time I need to click the Certificate Download icon, and then click one of the buttons to Exit the project or go to the Menu slide.
If I am quick, I can click on the Certificate Download icon and it performs as expected, but it is odd that I would have to be quick. This is particularly frustrating to users who have successfully completed the quiz and are expecting to download their certificate.

Allow the editing of answer options on MC question slides when the state selector is not set to Normal.
I have noticed that if I want to edit the text of answer options in a multiple choice question slide, the state selector must be set to Normal. If the state selector is set to any other state, the answer options cannot be edited.
Associated with that problem is that sometimes the text of an answer option on a multiple choice slide is different in the Normal and Hover states. This can happen if the question slide is duplicated for a new question. If the Hover state text is different (usually I want it to be the same text), I have no way to edit the text, since the text can only be edited when the Normal state is selected. The only workaround I have found is to re-create the slide.

Add text and shapes to Multistates and ability to create a multi state for any object
Cp Classic allows one to do this, but the multi-states in New Cp are extremely limited. In Classic, we used multistates to create our own questions with individualized feedback per answer. We are a tech-heavy company, and Multistates that allow text, shapes, images, and audio are a better solution for showing the parts of a piece of technology than any of the widgets can do.
This ability is essential to what we do in our organization. Please enable this ability in New Cp. thanks!

Slider widget
One request I would make is that on the new slider widget, it would be great if the learner had some sort of notification that their Submission had been accepted (and allowing the Submit button disabled state to be shown?).
Also, it would be ideal if the slider widget Submit button allowed more interactions than just ‘Play media’ – this could then allow a paragraph block for instance to open below to show confirmation of submission.

Bug - new Stack Widget/Timeline 13.1.0
When de-selecting the previous and next buttons within the new Stack Widget, the correct button turns off on the canvas, but the opposite one is removed from the time line. It follows the setting within the timeline despite not showing. The removed button's timeline bar has no effect.
Project design for this widget does not require 'Previous' button as other controls later in slide, so my workaround is to re-enable 'Previous Button' set the timeline duration for 'Next Button', then deselect 'Previous Button' button.

Remove credentialless ="true"> from HTML code in publish for Cp 13
Web objects from inside our organization do not work because we set a cookie to authenticate and Captivate 13 embeds an HTML code 'credentialless ="true" which prevents the cookie for authentication. This was not a problem in Captivate Classic. We imbed a lot of video from both our enterprise streaming service and our LCMS but are now not able to do so with Cp 13. Please resolve!!
