I want learners to be able to easily review a video so they can answer questions about it so I have an object they can click on to open the lightbox (it's on the base layer and they can click on it from any layer). When they lightbox it it pauses whatever layer they are on and continues after returning from the lightbox. When they return it will randomly jump to the wrong layer and won't complete the layer they were on...
I suspected that it was an issue with the latest software update for storyline 360 (3.22.17236.0) so I undid that version (nice option that was just added) and returned to ver 3.21.17083.0. After that everything worked as advertised again. I believe this is a new bug created by the latest update.
I've attached a test file so you can test my theory
Thanks for sharing your file, Brian! I'm glad you were able to roll back to Update 21 to continue working while we look into this potential bug.
I'm having some trouble recreating this issue in a new file, so I'd like to enlist our Support Team's help. They'll test your file and reach out via email when they have more to share!
Just a little more background on those slides... they were originally created sometime in 2015 (or possibly earlier) and have been updated through different storyline versions. This could be why you have trouble recreating the issue.
I just submitted a discussion as well, where I was having an issue closing a lightbox and it jumped by all my layers to the last layer..which was not good. I rolled back to 3.21 October release and it works perfectly. So I think November release must have a closing lightbox bug. I have asked whether I should record via email or if my discussion board is enought to start...thanks
Just an FYI, I submitted a case for my lightbox bug, and they have confirmed it looks like a bug, so on my reply to them Brian, I gave them this url to your elearning heroes post and they gladly said they will look at it as well. I do sense they are probably from the same issue. Cheers T
Has there been any progress on this yet? I'm still forced to use the Oct 30, 2018 storyline version. The new version released today still doesn't address this
While I don't have a timeline for fixing this issue yet, I'll let you know as soon as we have new information to share. You're in the right place, and here's a glimpse into how we tackle bugs!
Hey Brian Still not fixed I had a high profile elearning that went live and I can’t upgrade either. So we are five versions behind. I did tell support that I was frustrated as I am paying for a subscription with new enhancements that I can’t use. They said they will keep me posted .. I check in once a month. But nothing yet. It is a light box issue ..actually I should clarify my lightbox issue is with the lightbox and triggers breaking after the Oct 15th update....but I sense they are all related.
I'm still forced to use the Oct 30, 2018 version. The latest version that just came out (Mar 21, 2019) works much better but now has a new weirdness introduced. It returns to the proper layer now but the audio on that layer that was playing before the lightbox was launched must be re triggered by clicking on the finish button again (I can't count on my learners to figure that one out). I tried setting all layers to 'resume saved state' on revisits but it still exhibits the same behavior. I'm testing with the same file that I attached to my original post
It's going on 6 months now that I've not been able to take advantage of any new features while paying for a subscription service.
I'm sorry you've been stuck with this one for a bit - our team is currently testing out some final fixes on it and we'll let you know here as soon as it's ready. 🤞Looking like it'll be the next SL360 update.
It's now returning to the correct layer, however, there's a new glitch that's popped up. If I lightbox a slide from a layer that is playing an untriggered media file (audio) it returns to the proper layer and continues playing the media from where it left off.
If I lightbox the slide from a layer that is playing a media file that was triggered by some other action (clicking on a hotspot) then when the lightbox is closed the media doesn't continue where it left off. This causes an issue since I trigger the next layer when the media ends.
I mentioned this behavior in a post after the Mar release..
This worked perfectly prior to and including the Oct release. Up till now I've been able to revert to a working version but I no longer have access to the Oct release.
Hi Brian. Thanks for that update. I shared those details with our support team so they can investigate and offer a previous version without this behavior! They'll email you separately.

Thanks, Brian. I'll pass that information along to our Support Engineers, as well.
