Intersect issue on-going?
I tried using Intersect on five circles placed inside a rectangle, but when I clicked Intersect, all the elements disappeared completely—not just hidden, but completely gone from both the slide and the timeline. Other merge options work fine, but Intersect doesn't. My Storyline is up to date. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a workaround for it? Thanks in advance!

When I said all elements, I meant the five circles and the rectangle are gone.

Thank you for your reply. This is resolved.
I would recommend experimenting with the top down order if items on the time line.
Thank you for your reply. I sincerely appreciate it.
This merge shapes effect behaves just like PowerPoint’s "Intersect" feature. If you try using it with two or more shapes that don’t all overlap, you’ll notice the result is that all the shapes disappear because for "Intersect" to work, all selected shapes must physically intersect with one another. I recommend starting with just two overlapping shapes to confirm the effect works as expected, then gradually add more, ensuring each one intersects with the rest to achieve your desired result.
Thank you for your reply. I sincerely appreciate it.
