Objects occasionally flickers and/or teleports to another position when being dragged.

Apr 05, 2022

I followed the instruction in this video( How to Reset Drag-and-Drop Incorrect Choices w/ Motion Paths in Articulate Storyline 360 - YouTube) to reset the incorrect answers in drag and drop - although unlike the video, I reset it automatically upon detecting that it is the wrong answer instead of waiting till the player presses submit. However, after I implemented that, I noticed that the objects will occasionally flicker when I try to drag it again. There are also some occasions where some objects will teleport to the location it was previously dragged to after I try to drag it or another draggable object. Anyone encountered this before and/or knows how to solve it?

Hi, Edmond. 

Thank you for reaching out!

We have a possible bug logged where drag items in drag and drop interaction act erratically in succeeding attempts if the drag items have a motion path. 

This current workaround is to use the options Free or Snap to Center under Drop Target Options:

Let me know if this works for you! I also added this discussion to our report.
