Custom buttons not clickable.

Jun 23, 2020

I have custom PREV and NEXT buttons in my slide master with the right triggers on them for prev and next movement, and they are not clickable. So I moved them to the child slides of the slide master and same issue. What is going on here? Attached the project I am remodeling. I need a solution asap please.

To add: see slide 1.1. I have a slide-level object called Rectangle 1 that sits on top of my custom Next button since it needs to jump scene vs. jump slide as the slide master shows. Even that isn't clickable. It's bigger than a slide master bug I would guess. This has happened on and off for years, depending on the project.

Also see slide 2.2. I have a hotspot called HSnext that layers over the custom Next button. It, too, is not clickable, yet the hotspot "Hotspot 2 1" that sits over the Pre-test text object is in fact clickable. What is it about the bottom tenth of the screen that makes Storyline effectively useless for custom nav work?

Final note: the other buttons from the master aren't clickable either: Help and Menu.
