Issue with moving grouped objects in Captivate 8

Hi,

I use grouping of objects a lot and Imake extensive use of the arrow keys to move objects and / or groups around a slide. When moving groups in Captivate 8.1, however, and this never happened in CPT 6 or 7, Captivate does the action twice.

So when selecting the group of objects and pressing the arrow keys, it moves the groups 2 pixels at a time instead of just the one. Likewise, when pressing both Shoft and an arrow key, it moves the group 20 pixels.

To add to the fun, when you select both a group of objects and a single object on the slide, the arrow-move moves the group twice but the single object only once. Jolly good fun...

This is really annoying, so if anyone has a solution for this? Is this a bug or is it a setting I should be aware of? If it is not a bug but an actual new feature of Captivate, I would love to know the reasoning behind it, but for me, it rather defies any logic right now 🙂

Obviously, I figured out the workaround of 5 times the arrow key to move a group 10 pixels, but it is now impossible to move the group 1 pixel using the arrow key.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Jan.

It is a known bug, I have logged it already, please do the same.  Earlier on this happened also for individual objects (prerelease), now this annoying behavior is only for groups.
