Hyperlinks in animated text don't work
I'm submitting this issue here on the forums because I haven't found another place to submit tickets/issues. If there's a better place, please let me know.
If you have a hyperlink contained in a text block that has it's animation set to "By First Level Paragraph", the hyperlink is not clickable. Hyperlinks work just fine if you animate the text all at once or don't animate it at all.
I've attached an example project demonstrating this.

Thanks, Shelby. You can submit potential bugs here. Really appreciate it.
Was this bug ever fixed? I have just noticed that a hyperlink in a text block animated by paragraph doesn't become active until all the text has finished animating in.
Hi Dayn,
It sounds like your issue may be a bit different from the one originally stated here. Can you tell me a little bit more about what you're experiencing?
Does the hyperlink work and is highlighting correctly with no irregular backgrounds once the animation is complete?
Hi Ren
Yes -the hyperlink works normally, and highlights with its background hover colour after the full text block has completed animating in, but not before.
I set up a quick demo here - https://360.articulate.com/review/content/ef463c01-45fe-4a0e-a29c-862cdf68b2b3/review
