Question

Adobe Captivate text disappears in MS Edge browser

I'm using Captivate 2019 11.5.5.553 and have created a responsive SCORM 1.2 project for Moodle

 

I have a number of 'knowledge check' slides that display perfectly fine in Chrome, but the question itself disappears first time the slide is accessed in Edge. For each slide I have to click backwards and forwards again to get the text to appear.

 

I would love a resolution to this please TIA

    Is this a responsive project or a non-responsive project?

    Which font do you use? Is it a websafe or an Adobe font?

    Did you delete any of the embedded objects on the KC slides or on the quizzing master slides which are used for those KC slides? That can result in weird problems.

    Thx for responding @Lilybiri 
    This is a responsive project
    The font is websafe - Trebuchet

    I don't believe that I've deleted any embedded objects, though I have to say that the KC slide was being weird in Captivate in that as soon as it went from the master slide to the actual slide, the question text component unlocks itself from the fluid box and was impossible to get locked back in.

    I've popped an example of one of the slides below and how the question doesn't show up when first 'arriving' on the slide and then after going back and forward again, it magically re-appears. Again, not an issue on Chrome, just Edge it seems.

    Would love your thoughts!

    I can't seem to reply to @Stagprime2687219 directly below their post, so putting it in here.

    I am using scalable text, but I don't believe that's the issue as the screen size doesn't change when flicking backwards and forwards between slides, but that's when the text is disappearing. Good thought though!

    Did you publish your project to be scaling?

    I have experienced situations where if I set the project as scaling, there are certain sizes where text will disappear as if it is unable to render the text due to some strange height and width values or something.

    I can usually drag the corners of my browser window and see it appear and disapper as I shrink or grow.

    If that is the case - my solution is to leave the project at its fixed size when it was created - or uncheck the scaling box on publish.

     

    It could be that a slight difference in usable window real estate due to bookmark bars, address bars, etc from browser to browser is just enough to cause one of those odd sizes.

     

    Just a thought.
