Buttons do not appear for some users

Hello - I have searched for this but could not find anything? Out of over 100 users there are a few instances where a button on a button driven menu does not appear and it prevents users from completing content. I have checked the source file and the buttons are set to "fly in" and "show until end," no exit animations - the buttons that do not appear are not consistent? All the buttons are set to the same values.

Hi John,
Maybe not much help here, but I wonder if it is a browser issue. Have you had any of those users experiencing the issue try to go in with a different browser? That could help isolate the issue. Also wondering if it's consistent: do these users get the same result if they start over again?
Hi David,
Two users have experienced this issue - different buttons did not appear for each. I did ask them to try different browsers and one indicated he tried the iPad and different PCs, I also asked him to restart the course and to not choose "resume" he indicated that he already did this and it did not work. Since they complete the training remotely I cannot verify this and I cannot replicate the issue.
Wonder if you could share the SL file or part of it. Maybe there's something there. Seems really odd...hope it's not a bug.
Hi, John. Thanks for all these clues!
I like David's theory re: the browser: Were you able to grab what browser(s) the affected learners are using to view the content?
I've also got a few more questions to see if we can nail down a tend:
Hi Katie,
The course is hosted on a Comply 365 server. This has happened with another course but only one person reported the issue on the other course. Here is what the latest user observed, he could not advance because the button was missing and to move forward all the buttons had to have a complete status:
"Ok, heres what happened the best that I can remember. I finished a couple modules with no troubles and had an issue with this one. I set it aside for a couple weeks thinking that a bug may be worked out, then tried the module again. It had the same hang up and if you notice in the picture, there was only an option to go back and not advance forward from the frame that I sent.
I tried working it from the beginning on a laptop computer and got stuck with the same issue, so I tried a desktop computer. Same issue. I tried continuing the lesson and starting over. Same issue.
Waited a week or 2 more then tried the laptop again using chrome, Firefox, and the windows browsers, same issue.
I waited a couple weeks more then tried the iPad and then the laptop. Same issue, cannot advance past that specific point in the module. That is when I gave up and emailed for help."
Thank you for looking into this and helping to prevent this issue for other users.
Here are some additional images of the same error reported in another course and another button? The inconsistency is troublesome ...
Hi John!
By chance, are you using master slides and inserting those into the project? It could also be a timeline issue. Are you able to share the file with us to take a deeper look?
You can do so by using the "add attachment" button in this discussion. Or you can share the file privately with our Support Engineers by using this link.
Thanks Lauren - I will send the file to the support engineers. Another instance of this issue occurred in a different place!
Hi John,
I went to take a look at your support case but was not able to locate one.
Do you have a case number so we can peek in and see what's going on?
If not, let us know if you need any help in getting this submitted to our team.
Was there any update on this problem. We are now starting to get a lot more of these with our courses. A group of 10 in class, 80% can see the next button when triggered, the other 20%, the next button does not show and cannot continue the course?
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi, Tom.
Thank you for reaching out!
It looks like John didn't share the file through a support case, so I don't have any information on their solution. If you can submit yours privately to us, one of our support engineers will be happy to help you troubleshoot!
We encountered a similar problem.
I opened a case (case number: 03939450) via the support form with all the needed data to reproduce it.
Hope this can help!
Hi Stefan,
Great idea to open a case with your published output! I see that my teammate, Lejan, has picked it up; you're in good hands working one-on-one with him. Please expect an email from him shortly.
