"Restricted" menu introduces delay in the button to proceed to the next page

Oct 18, 2023

Hi,

When enabling the restricted menu under...
[Player] > [Menu] > [Additional options (cog wheel)] > [Menu] > [Restricted]
...I am finding that suddenly there is a delay of about 5 seconds before it is possible to proceed to the next page. The "Next page" button in the bottom right is grayed-out, and then for no apparent reason becomes active after a delay of around 5 seconds.

This delay is removed when the menu is set back to "Free".

Is this intended behavior?

Many thanks in advance.

That is intended behavior. Using Restricted navigation means the user can't advance to the next slide until the current slide is completed. Thus, the Next button will automatically be disabled until whenever the timeline ends. The default length of a new slide is 5 seconds, but you can shorten or lengthen it as needed.
