Question

Now I understand why Steve Jobs called Adobe lazy...

Hello,

as we all know Adobe released CP5 in summer 2010. There is a huge bug in the german version. Every time you use the "Ctrl"-key (on german keyboard = strg) the main working zooms out.

On the 27th of october I wrote to Adobe a bug report.

Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Strg (Control) - Key
2.
3.
Results: Zooms out the Main Window every time
Expected results: nothing, normaly I use this key with another key (control + c = copy). This could be a problem with the german keyboard?

The Answer:

Yes. This is a bug in German version of Captivate 5. We are planning to fix this in upcoming release.

For the moment there are two workarounds:
a) Click on the edit area to select the object you intend to copy and then do Ctrl + C.
b) Use English keyboard.

Regards,
Chandranath

So, today I Update my Captivate Version to 5.0.1

What about the really huge bug? Nothing!

Unbelievably! ...and, yeah... I would say... lazy.

Thank you Adobe!

    I did the same, but well before. This is a bug.

    The problem was NOT in the German version. It was Cp itself. When a keyboard with QWERTY-layout was used, everything was OK, but a lot of bugs (not only this one) came up with a QWERTZ-keybord. The developer had only an English keybord available. That's why they could not confirm this bug, they did not see it.
