Bug fixes in this update

Adobe Captivate Classic (11.8.3) fixes the following bugs:

• After changing the color and background of closed captions, unexpected color shifts occur, leaving the user unable to observe the changes in the project preview. This problem is exclusive to macOS.
  
• When attempting to modify the pronunciation of certain words for specific voices within the user dictionary, users encountered a "license expired" message on Windows. This issue has been resolved, and users can now modify the pronunciation of words for specific voices.
  
• In some cases, macOS users cannot resize a Fluid Box vertically or horizontally.
  
• In Captivate Classic 11.8.1, when a user inserts a slide video and distributes it across slides, the Edit Video Timing button is unresponsive and does not allow the video timing adjustments. Additionally, changes made on the slide during editing are not visible on the timeline.
  
• While adding a video demo with webcam and audio enabled and subsequently attempting to include a PIP(Picture in picture) video, the extracted audio from the PIP video fails to display on the timeline or within the Audio Library. During playback on the timeline, the PIP audio is not audible.
  
• If a learner selects a hotspot and deselects it, the deselected option appears as selected on an LMS and SCORM Cloud report.
  
• Upon adding a smart shape, image, or SVG as a button, incorporating the object into a quiz, and configuring multiple attempts, selecting the object during runtime for the designated attempts leads to an inaccurate score.
  
• The Neo Speech application on macOS could not read words due to a malfunction in updating the pronunciation CSV file. As a workaround, users should save userdict_kor.csv to the desktop, then replace the existing file in /Applications/Adobe Captivate Voices/VT/<Voice agent name>/P16/data-common/userdict to apply the pronunciation changes.
