Adding clickboxes

Since we upgraded to Captivate 2017 from Captivate 7, I have noticed my master slides have a trait now which was not present is version 7. Most of our lessons require the addition of 3 clickboxes. In version 7 I would add them in a specic order to the slide and the last one was always on the top of the slide timeline. Now the first one I add is on the top and the next two are added underneath the first one on the timeline. I am dealing with it but can not find what to change to have the clickboxes stack on top of each other in the timeline as I add them in this version of Captivate.

It has never been possible to put click boxes on master slides. What do you mean?

Moreover stacking interactive objects will cause issues for HTML output as well.

In Fluid Boxes (responsive) projects you cannot use click boxes in normal fluid boxes.

Sorry, let me clarify. I have master slides in a template which I use to add, screen images, avatars, text...etc. After all of the place holders are used on a slide I start to add highlights, and clickboxes. Adding the clickboxes to a slide is where the clickboxes do not stack on top of each other.

See what you mean, but if they are not in the same location, what does it matter? You can always use Arrange to change the stack order, or drag the timelines. I suspect it is because the old click box is some of the objects doomed to disappear... Why not use a shape button?

Log a bug report if this is really very important. Didn't even see this because I almost never use a click box since version 6 when shapes appeared which could be used as buttons, can be timed for the rest of the project, used on master slides, quiz slides and be filled with any image (except SVGs).

I see the word 'template', do you mean a cptl-file? Be careful... they have some problems especially if they include variables and advanced actions.
