Slide repositions all content upon pressing the down arrow key.
I'm building a course, and am making sure it is Accessible friendly. On one slide the content slips to the left when I press the down arrow key. This issue only appears on this single slide out of all 34 slides within the course.
How it looks before I press the down arrow key
After I press the down arrow key
When I click LEARN MORE using the keyboard or mouse it shows a layer that is also shifted to the left.
Upon pressing the down arrow key to hear the screen reader, the issue resets itself.
Once the user closes the "X", this layer is hidden and the Base Layer reveals more text and the navigation button. No more slide shifting occurs during this entire process.
I have created a new slide and copied and pasted the content back into it, with no luck.

Have you checked that there's nothing in the focus order that's sitting off stage? Zoom out in the editor, then press Ctrl+A on the base layer and again on the layer, and look for selection handles appearing outside the slide boundary.
I double checked, and not a single set focus outside of the frame.
I'll guess I'll rebuild the slide from scratch and see how that goes.
Hi AaronBurgessAU,
Were you able to replicate the issue after rebuilding the slide? If the issue persists, I'd like to test your file if you're comfortable sharing here or privately. We'll delete all files once troubleshooting is complete!
Hello KellyAuner
I rebuilt the slide from scratch, and the same issue was occurring. For a while I thought it was some weird error that was caused by any trigger that called the layer. But that failed after a few tests.
What it turned out to be and i don't know why was the Animate to paths. Certain objects would animate in and then animate out via paths and while I've done this a zillion times this particular time it caused this strange issue. I ended up duplicating the slide that is working and then simply reversing the order of the animation structure (which I needed) and it worked fine. The odd thing was the rebuild was actually cleaner animation, yet didn't work. Modifying the sloppy one was the way to go.
Thank you for the offer though.
Hi AaronBurgessAU,
Thanks so much for following up and sharing this information! I’m glad you were able to get it working, although that behavior does sound a bit odd. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if it happens again.
