Quiz Submit button shortcut doesn't take

Question

I am using Captivate 9.0.1.320. When I select the Submit button and click the "Shortcut:" radio button, I set it as the Enter key. But when I click off the slide and come back, the shortcut change I made is no longer there. It's like it won't take any shortcut key on a Submit button. Anyone else run into this? It's happening on all question types. I even tried setting a shortcut in the Slide Master for a matching question - still doesn't work.

Looks like the bug was never addressed, as it persists in the most-current version of Captivate.

When editing the [Submit] button in an MCQ,T/F, FIB, Sequence slide (either using the built-in Master or user-modified Master), I click the radio button in the Properties > Shortcut area next to the open field. I click the Enter key on the keyboard, and "Enter" appears in the field. If I test the slide using Preview, clicking the Enter key does duplicate the expected action of the Submit button, submitting the user response for evaluation. If I return to the Properties > Shortcut area for the Submit button, the radio button next to the open filed is DE-selected and the radio button next to "None" is selected.

Additionally, if I attempt to use the "Enter" key to submit the user's response on slide 1, clicking the Enter key to submit a response on slide 2 produces no response from Captivate. It is as if Captivate allows you to use the Enter key once and once only.
