Hover State retaining Normal State

Hi Phil,

I'm thinking this might be one of those things that's more easily diagnosed if the community can take a look at the slide. Would you be able to upload it here?

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for the response. I think the cause is related to the shadow on the character graphic. I removed the shadow, and the normal state went away on rollover. That said, my team's graphic artist removed it on her local copy and said her version still contains the previously mentioned issue. I have also noticed a slight lag for the middle character in particular.

I'll still post this anyway with the hope there's something else I'm missing that can resolve it all once and for all. The issue seems to surround that one character. Who knows! Thanks again!

Sorry, forgot to include the original issue in that last version. This file contains an example with the shadow issue that somehow only affects the middle character.

Hi Phil,

Really strange, but on my end that middle character looks fine when hovered on both slides: the one you've labeled "with shadow" and the one you've labeled "no shadow"...at least in preview mode. Is that where it's failing for you, or is it only on Publish?

hover is an additive state to normal, if you do not want the normal state to appear duplicate your hover state and then delete the hover state. Now set a trigger to change the state of your object to the custom state when hovered over.

I little bit more work but the is how states were intended to function.

I know this is a really old article but I have just come across this issue in 360.  Is there a reason why the normal state shows under the hover state, or is this STILL a bug?  Why should hover be an "additive" state and not function like a custom state and be able to be something completely different?

I have managed to get round it by using Phil's workaround, but this is extra work that I shouldn't really have to do.

Hey David! The Normal state will sometimes appear below other states, especially when text is involved in the states. 

I'd like to bring this up to our Product team again to get some clarification on how states should work. Do you have a sample slide that I can share with the team? If so, you can attach it here!
