Restricting NEXT with States

I am running into an issue that did not exist previously and I am hoping someone here can explain it. 

Previously, I would create Rectangle 1 with some text inside that would prompt the learner to "Click Next to Continue". Initially it is hidden and changes state when all interactions on the slide are complete. The Player Triggers includes Jump to Next slide when User Clicks Next if Rectangle 1 = normal. 

Now users are able proceed through a slide, despite having layers or interactions AND Rectangle 1 is still hidden. Is that something new? It is very frustrating to create more triggers when this one worked previously.

Any help is appreciated!
