Basic object's style properties not available

[ACIuser]

I sometimes (seems to be random) have this problem where, for any selected object on a slide, its style properties are not all available. For example, for the object selected on a slide, I cannot edit its fill colour or any of its stroke properties:

I need to see the following:

Sometimes, if I close Captivate and open it again, the properties display correctly, but not always.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Since the change in UI with CP8 this is happening sometimes, interface is not as stable as was CP7 interface. I cannot really offer you a fix, only some recommendations to keep it happening less frequently:

• Clear cache regularly
• Try resetting the workspace (easier if you use the Expert UI, because you can have multiple workspaces)
• Close and restart Captivate frequently

Try clicking between the options and actions panels, this may force Cp to re-assess what options should be active.

Or try clicking another object on the screen, then click back to your target object.
