Why is my captivate button moving when I try to click it?

I started a responsive project, the first panel has 4 smart shapes, used as buttons, that reveal different states on the panel.  There is also a button on the first page to advance the project to the second panel, but whenever I try to activate it (when previewing or after publishing the project) the button moves to the center of panel.  Continuing to attempt to activate the button causes it to jump around between the center of the page and the location I set it to.  Any ideas why this may be happening?

Did you install the hot fix? One of the issues fixed by it, is the one you mention:

Hi! I have the same issue as Matt but with the 2019 version of Adobe Captivate. I couldn't find any hot fix with this version. I restarted the program but it still does it. What can I do?

    If you are not on Captivate 2019 version 11.5 then I would definitely suggest you update.  But if that is the version you have, then I would suggest you check the Object States of the buttons that appear to be misbehaving.  You may find that the rollover state is misaligned so that when you go to click the button then it moves.

     

    Failing that, just delete and try inserting new buttons.

    So I recreated my images by hand in illustrator and then exported them as SVG. I created buttons from these SVG. I do not have the shadow when rolling over them so it's a bit of a shame but it works at least!


    Create a shadow to the image in AI, import that asset as well, and replace the present image in the Rollover state.

    Thanks for help.  The issue described there sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing.  I went ahead and followed the instructions and successfully installed the hotfix (my version is now 9.0.0.230), but after a restart I'm still experiencing the issue.  Anything else I should try?  It's the same project, maybe I'll start a new one from scratch and see what I get.  Thanks!
