Objects and Screen Jump Around

Report · May 31, 2018

I'm using Captivate 10.0.1.285 on Mac High Sierra.

I'm workington a slide presentation with drag and drop activities.

When I zoom in on my screen to work on specific elements at the bottom of the screen, every time I click anything the screen jumps back to the top. Then I have to scroll back down to the object that is now off the screen.

For Example: If I want to click on several items to group them or to move them, each time I click on an item, the screen jumps back to the top. I then have to scroll back down to click the next object that is now off the screen. I click on that item, and it jumps, and I have to scroll.... over and over.

Also, if I click on an object, the object will jump to a new offset position on the screen. I then have to hit "undo offset position" before I can carry on with what I want to do.

If I am in the drag and drop wizard, and click on an object, if it jumps, I can't undo the jump, and have to remember to realign everything after I finish the wizard.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

No, cannot help, because that loss of focus is indeed a bug, very annoying. It is not the only situation where focus is loss and seems to be a recurrent bug because it often re-appears in versions. Please, support me by logging a bug report. I have done that already several times. My workflow is to jump back to Best fit (CTRL or CMND-0) and zoom in again.

I don't recognize the offset, nor the jump of an object, did not have that experience but that may be a Mac issue, I only use Win.

How does one log a bug with Adobe?

This is one of the most annoying bugs I have ever encountered. It is one of those bugs that makes you scream, swear and beg your superiors to migrate to another product. UI bugs like this seem small sometimes, but the anger, irritation and frustration caused by them elicit huge negative emotions which have a huge affect on one's perception of the product, their willingness to recommend and unfortunately overshadow any positive feelings one has about the product. AARRRGH!. So maddening.
