closed caption in Captivate 10

How I address this is that I make my Closed Captioning background transparent and create a dark grey (or whatever colour is appropriate) background for the closed captioning to rest on top of.

It appears that if a slide has no closed caption text in the Slide Notes panel, the closed captions box/background disappears for the duration of the slide, even when 'Show Closed Captions' for the project is checked. The CCs box reappears on the next slide that contains closed caption text. If we were able to fade it in or out it would be less annoying, but when it 'blinks' on and off between CC'd and non-CC'd slides it is extremely distracting. Not sure why this behaviour has been introduced - a bug perhaps? Ideally, it should stay visible for all slides when 'Show Closed Captions' is checked for the project.

I have noticed this also, along with a ton of other quirky effects of this new release. For example, I converted my file up to latest version and lost all captions that had to be turned back on individually because apparently the Project window settings won't apply to the whole Project as you would think. No, you must go into each individual slide and set all design preferences for each of your many slides. Additionally, I cannot meet my client's preferences for audio on quizzes, as there is no way anymore to stop main audio from playing when your feedback audio comes up, even though the tool allows us to do this (very poor design). I have to say, I am not at all impressed by the many extra hours I have to devote to dev now. I've been doing this for over 15 years and I'm quite sure we can do better than this for rapid dev tools. Needless to say, this is the last time I will build in this version until things are intuitive and easier. It's a shame.
