Captivate Interaction Widget Disappearing

I have added an interaction to a blank slide which is a dropdown for information. The slide plays the audio intro and then the widget promptly disappears. I have adjusted the timing with all four choices (Specific Time, Rest of Slide, Rest of Project, and Duration of Animation). Within timing, I also adjusted from 5 seconds to 9999 seconds. None of those seem to help the widget from disappearing after the audio track plays.

 

Screenshot is attached.

 

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

    Accordion interaction but in a Fluid Box? I wouldn't do that, keep that slide without fluid boxes and use the Position Properties panel. You can use fluid boxes on other slides. This interaction will never become 'fluid'.

    Moreover you need to know that this interaction is 'static', not interactive (seems weird) in Captivate's sense: there is no automatic pausing point. You need to add an interactive object to pause the slide and give the learner time to explore the interaction. More in:
