Question
Stacking Order of Elements
Hey All!
I'm enjoying our recent move to Cap. 2, lot's of great new features. I've run into a bit of an oddity and am planning to submit a bug report, but wanted to toss it out here first.
Here is what I am doing and experiencing:
1. Record a demonstration project.
2. Highlight an area of the project and select Fill Outer Area check box.
3. Insert a text caption, and set the text caption to be above the highlight in stacking order on the timeline (so the text caption is not grayed out by the outer fill).
4. Set the highlight and caption to fade in only.
5. Copy the highlight and text caption and paste them on the next slide (there is typing happening on both slides and I am highlighting the set of fields being completed).
6. Ensure the text caption is still on top of the stacking order in the timline.
7. Set the highlight and caption on slide 2 to fade out only.
The slides are set to stream with no transitions or user interaction.
When I preview or publish slide 1 works as expected - highlighted area with rest of background greyed out and text caption on top of the outer fill. When it gets to slide 2 the text falls behind the outer fill and is greyed out like the background.
Workaround:
I have found that all is good if I duplicate the text caption on slide 2 and delete the one I originally pasted in. It isn't a big pain, but it is a waste of effort after working through several of these.
I'll be submitting a bug report and wanted to share the fix I found. Any other ideas?
