Buttons shrinking

Hi,

I've inserted two buttons in a screen using the Interactions tab in Captivate 9.

Every time I exit the screen they shrink, I resized a few times but they keep resizing to the same size as the text which is written on them.

See screenshot. I also can't centre the text after resizing.

    This is due to having the setting Autosize Buttons checked, uncheck that option

    But you are confused: you always trigger an action by a button, that has nothing to do with the states at all. Buttons have 3 InBuilt states, you can add more custom states but a state can never trigger any action.

    How about checking to see if you have Autosize Buttons selected in Edit - Preferences - Defaults.

    What happens if you remove the reflection effect?  Do they work properly then?

    Can you take a look at the Object State view and see whether this issue is shown in all states for the button?

    Removing the reflection effect/changing state didn't remove issue no.

    I have to use the default state because you can't add actions to the others and I have a textbox showing on click
