Quiz slide troubles

Question

I imported a Captivate 5 presentation into Captivate 8 and my one quiz question slide in the entire presentation is giving me issues (worked fine in Captivate 5). The presentation freezes on the slide after the question. There are no settings I can find that would be causing this (e.g., pause).

I tried deleting the quiz slide and reinserting a new one (thinking there was some sort of transition glitch between Captivate 5 and Captivate 8), but this did not solve the problem. Additionally, the review area now appears on all slides subsequent to the question slide. I've looked at a number of settings and can't figure out why.

I don't know if this is related or not, but the playback bar is being weird as well. If you try to move forward or back by clicking and dragging using the playback bar, you essentially can't "let go" and any movement you make with the mouse (including to buttons in the presentation or on the playback bar) just causes scrolling through the presentation slides.

Any suggestions on how to fix this mess?

That kind of problems are to be expected, because so much has changed since 5, you skipped 5.5, 6, 6.1 & 7. Question slides are often a problem with that kind of upgrades, definitely throw out that old quiz slide and recreate it from scratch. 5 didn't have themes if my memory is OK, the skin editor is part of the theme as are master slides (were not imposed on 5) and object styles. All possible causes for your problems. Maybe the quickest way to fix is to create a new blank project with the same resolution, check the theme to be applied (master slides, object styles and skin), and copy/paste slides (not all at once, so that you can detect problems) from the old project to that blank project.

Personally I would never even try such an upgrade that skips that many versions, but start from scratch using backgrounds and assets.
