Question

Text Entry Box - automatic start with slide entry

Hi everyone,

 

I recently updated Captivate classic to version 11.8.3.

The update resulted in problem with the text entry box. After reaching a slide the user could automatically enter the text into the box. Now he has to click into the box before it is possible to enter the text. That is very annoying in a software simulation, as the user clicks into one field on the first slide and enters the text on the second slide. Now he clicks into the field and has to do one more click to activate the text entry box. All the workarounds I have tried so far didnt work out. Did anyone come across this problem?

 

Thanks

 

Maria

    Many bugs in the 11.8 versions, I had not yet seen this one. Is the TEB on a software simulation slide or on another slide? In the second scenario, check the Timeline and drag the TEB to the top of the stack.

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    It is on the simulation slide.

     

    The scenario could be one like this:

    The user enters a name into the entrybox "username" on the first slide. By pressing enter or clicking into the box ""Password" the person will be directed to the next slide. In the old version, the text could be directly enterd, no more click necessary. In the new version the user has to click into the box "Password" again to write the text. As we are working on softwaresimulation only this is a big problem.

     

    I have tried advanced actions and it works particularly (only one case so far) but building it is very timeconsuming.
