Turning off "show hand cursor on hover" doesn't work.

Jan 13, 2015

Hey all. I have a series of screenshots that I've added in Test mode from a video. Each screen has a hotspot on it, but I want the cursor NOT to change into a hand when it's hovered over.

I've right-clicked on each hotspot and turned off the "Show hand cursor on hover" option, but when I run the lesson, the hand still changes into a cursor on hover. Any ideas?

Hi, 

I notice this concern was mentioned 7 years ago.  However, I don't see where I have the ability to turn off that feature. I don't want the hand to show at hover, but the option that shows when I right click on the hotspot is to turn it on. It does it whether the feature is checked or not. 

Has there been a solution? I'm using hot spots in a try me interaction and I don't want the users to see the hand over the hotspot for the correct answer.

Hi Karel,

Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue. I tried testing this behavior using the latest version of Storyline 360 but I was unable to replicate it. Here's a quick recording of what I'm seeing when hovering over hotspots generated by a screen recording. Can I ask if you are working out of the latest version of Storyline 360

If you are, please share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so I can take a look at why we're getting different results. We'll delete it when we're done testing!
