Captivate 8 glossary sizing issue

When I finish adding my definitions to the glossary widget, it displays on the slide like this. Even if I make the widget box itself enormous, the glossary stays this size. Is this is a bug or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you resize the widget on your canvas and then click "refresh widget" in the Properties panel?

Is anyone working on this? I'm having this problem too and really need it to work in Captivate 8.

This seems to still be happening in Captivate 9. Are there any updates? Both the Dropbox links are giving 404s. I'm trying to import an list with over 1000 terms. The more terms that get added, the more compacted the widget becomes, until it is less than 1px high.

Has this issue been addressed in the Captivate 8.2 update?

Has the product team projected a timeline to fix this bug?

Just FYI, I've spent the last hour on chat with Support and we've figured out a **temporary** workaround to this issue.  The widget functions properly in Captivate 7, and you can copy/paste the functioning widget into a Captivate 8 project.  This obviously requires you to have both versions of Captivate on your computer, but until Adobe's engineering team hurries up with the next update, there's no other way to get it to work.

Is this in design or preview?  Try looking at in preview (either in the web browser or just previewing 5 slides).  Widgets don't appear actual size in design mode.

That was previewing it in my browser.

Thanks, that seemed to work at first.  However, I closed Captivate again and reopened it, and it just reverted to the old problem with the shrinking glossary.  Any ideas?


Hi There,

Can you share the XML file you are importing in glossary widget? Please send me a private message.

Mayank
