I created my own test shape on the slide and it works. I checked in your objects and I think the culprit is that the states were copied and pasted when the original object had a trigger on it.

You try to fix it quickly:

  • go into the state
  • select the object
  • Ctrl X
  • Ctrl V

That should copy and paste without the trigger and may fix it. Otherwise you need to rebuild those state objects without triggers.

See the recording.

    Thank you so much Tom! I honestly can't remember if I copy and pasted those rectangles or not. I did create them all individually, but when I was troubleshooting a different issue, I might have copied and pasted them. I really appreciate your help!

    I did the cut and paste to remove the triggers, and like you said in your video, the hover state still shows up under the visited state until you hover over the object again. 

    After the cut and paste, I couldn't change the format of the states anymore. Is that because of the cut and paste?
