Custom closed caption button is not receiving focus when tabbing on video slides

Hi Landon, 

Thanks for including the link to your file! Is this problem happening in any web browser, or a certain browser in particular?

Check out this screen recording of my testing in Chrome. Is that not what you're seeing on your end?

Hi Alyssa,

It is just happening in Chrome and it looks like I am using the same version that you shared in your screen recording. 

I am still not seeing the focus on my end though...

Hi Landon,

I tested your Review link too, and also couldn't get the CC button to highlight as the focus, but based on Alyssa publishing your file again it seems everything is set up in that version.

Are you using the latest update of Storyline 360, Update 15?  It was released last week so you may have missed it! I'd like to know if you can republish the same file you shared here with us (I'd suggest downloading the copy shared here- just to make sure it's the exact same) and let us know how that one works!

It could have been something already resolved in the update or a change you made to file prior to publishing. Storyline doesn't have an autosave feature, so if you didn't save after publishing, it would be possible to have shared that earlier version with us where it did work normally. 

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the response. I updated last week to the latest version 3.15.15453.0 and republished the course (downloaded from above as you recommended). My chrome version is up-to-date: Version 66.0.3359.117 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have also followed the steps here to try to fix erratic behavior in Storyline, but that didn't solve the problem either.

I think the weird part about this issue is courses in Review that I have not republished for 5+ months are experiencing this as well. 

Hmm, really strange that I was able to bring the focus to the CC button, but both you and Ashley could not. Let's see if we can narrow this down.

Can you use Peek to make a screen recording similar to the one I linked above? If you can capture the version of Chrome you're using and a full screen recording of you tabbing through the content, that would be really helpful. 

We'll try and get to the bottom of this!

Wow, this is very strange. All my CC buttons are getting focus again on all courses...

This is my screen cast of it working at 2:38ish pm CST on 4.25.18

I wonder if is working for Ashley now too...

What a puzzle! In any case, I'm glad it's working for you. Keep us posted on how it goes--if you run into this problem again, you know where to find us. 😁

So yesterday I was working from a coffee shop and using their wifi and it was working as you can see in my screen cast above.

Now today I am working in our office and plugged into the Ethernet and I am not getting focus on the CC button again. Here is a screencast. Again, all of the courses that were working yesterday are not working today. My coworker is using our wifi here and they are not working for her either.

Oh no! Back to the drawing board...

I'm going to bring this up to my team to get some insight on why you're seeing one behavior in-network and another behavior out-of-network. I'll pop back in once I have more to share. 

Hi there Landon,

This one has us stumped! We've done some more testing, and some of us are getting the focus on the CC button, and others aren't. We're all using the latest version of Chrome. 

Would you mind sharing the original sample file with me? I'd like to publish it to Articulate Review on my end, and retest to see if we get the same results.

You can attach the sample file by clicking here and attaching it to a new thread comment. Thanks!

Hi Alyssa,

I was just checking in on this. Have you guys determined what could be causing this? Or is there some alternatives you suggest?

Thanks!

Landon

Hi there Landon! 

So sorry for the confusion--we were hoping to get your original sample file so we could do some more testing. So far, we haven't had any luck recreating this issue on our end with our own sample files.

If you don't mind sharing it with us, we'd love to test your file further. You can send it directly to our team by clicking this link. Thanks!

Oh sorry about that, I must have forgot to send the file. I did just send it now though :)

Thanks, Landon. I've got your file! I'll reach back out soon to let you know what I found in my testing. 

OK so we noticed a crazy thing happening today with this. I was receiving the yellow focus box on my Dell Inspiron 15-7579 but then I dragged my browser window over to my second monitor, which is a hp Pavilion 23xi, and the focus was gone. I dragged the window back and forth and it would appear and disappear when on the two different screens.

Then I started playing with the size of the browser window on my hp monitor, and when it was small the CC button had focus, and when it was large, no focus. I will attach a screen shot of this. Hope it helps with understanding what is going on!

Eureka! 💡 That's the culprit. When I enlarged the Articulate Review window, the CC button lost focus. When I decreased the size of the window again, the yellow focus box returned.

This little quirk definitely feels like a bug, so I'm going to get this issue in front of our team to see how we can help.  I'll keep this discussion updated with any new information.  

In the meantime, have you noticed that this also affects your Web or LMS outputs? In my own testing, window size did not affect those outputs, but I wanted to check with you, as well.
