Storyline hover glitch - hover doesn't work on whichever part the mouse is on when the slide opens

Feb 14, 2023

I have a circumplex diagram and each pizza slice has a shape with hover state. However, if the mouse/cursor is sitting still on a slice as that slide opens (from the main menu) that hover item doesn't work.

I've tried moving the cursor onto different areas when opening the slide, and which ever slice it is on when the slide opens doesn't work.

This is particularly troublesome on the '12 behaviours' slide, but sometimes happens on the other slides too.

Appreciate any help!

Hi Jennifer, 

Thanks for reaching out! 

I took a look at your project file but I was unable to observe any animations that made sections of the graph slide out. 

Would you be willing to make a recording of the issue so we can properly test the behavior on our end? Here's how

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I've taken a look and it appears there is only one of the 12 slices that fails to highlight as the nouse hovers. I have moved objects to the front and reordered the timeline to ensure all 12 are at the top and none of this has resolved the issue. 

The slice that fails to highlight is not a specific object... it seems it changes with each solution I implement???? (randomly changing)

very strange behaviour - the click position on the main slide affects the hover on the other slides

button 2 on the original position:

peek 1: (click on the middle or left side of button 2)
https://360.articulate.com/review/content/81b7de3c-6743-422b-a94d-c341b56bcb12/review

-> red hover don't work

peek 2: (first* click on the right side of button 2)

-> green hover don't work

 

now button 2 moved:

peek:

-> seems ok

 

 * the behaviour is a little bit different if you set "When revisited: Reset to initial state"

here is 'partial fix' of the storyline error - with delayed click (-> variable 'jump')

  • ok for Firefox
  • but NOT for Chrome


  • user click -> variable 'jump' = 1 ... 5
  • on variable change -> jump to the matching slide
  • reset variable 'jump' on (re)start menu

result

I have testet some some other potential fixes without success
 - delay with layers (open layer, then jump to slide in the layer)
 - delay with variable and an extra dispatcher slide
