Objects appearing in background for new blank slides?

Hello all,

I'm currently working on a project creating training lessons for staff on Adobe Captivate 5. On the most recent training lesson I was working on, the creation of blank slides appears to be malfunctioning. Whenever I try to insert a blank slide, it appears with objects from other slides stuck in the background. I cannot manually select or delete the objects. Thinking that it might be something to do with Master Slides, I took a look there too and the Master Slides available are all blank themselves, without any objects. Even switching the malfunctioning slides to a Master Slide setting doesn't do anything for the appearance of these objects on my blank slides. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance

Most likely the slides containing the objects you are seeing are positioned earlier in the slide order, correct?

Find those slides and check the Timing setting for the objects that are appearing in later slides.  It's possible those objects have been set to appear for Rest of Project instead of Rest of Slide or Specific Time.

Thank you, I had the objects set as "Display for rest of Project".
