Question

Apply to All does not appear to work with some properties

Hi, I am having some trouble with Captivate 4. It seems that many of the properties do not change for all slides when using 'Apply to all', only the current slide changes. I was first trying to do this with v3 cp files that I'd upgraded, but the same behavior happens with captures made directly in v4. I am using Captivate in Assessment Simulation mode, and it is Captivate 4 V 4.0.0 build 1596. Also, I'm Publishing to AS3 because they are being served inside of an AIR app.

The specific areas that are causing me issue right now are as follows:
-Text Entry Box->Properties->'If the user enters the text incorrectly' section (none work)
-Click Box->Properties->'If the user clicks outside the click box' section (none work)

It also appears that I can't change Shortcut keys, default text, or ->Options->visible.
However I can use Apply to all with settings such as Retain Text and Options->Timing (whole section) just fine.

Process to duplicate:
-Create a blank Assessment Simulation with at least 2 slides, each having a Text Entry box with default settings.
-Select either Text Entry Box
-Click the 'Infinite Attempts' check box to toggle it.
-Check the 'Apply to all' checkbox
-Click the settings button, make sure that "Apply only changed properties" and "Apply to all" are selected
-Click "Apply" and then "OK"
-View another slide with a Text Entry Box...it hasn't changed. Expected behavior: Changed.

Can anybody verify this? Should I file a bug report on it...

FYI,
I have filed this as a Captivate 4 Bug on the Bug/Feature request page at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5.

I'd provide a link, but I can't find my submission or any public interface to the Captivate bug/feature request pages...
