Hi Eliser,
Okay, so as I understand it you don't want to know how to
change anything, you just want to know the "why" about a change in
method made in version 3? As in ...

So I just want to know why Captivate 3 has changed the recording
system ? Kopriva, in his reply, has encountered the same issue...
I'm not alone !
Understand, no one (not I for sure) is arguing that
version 3 does not operate differently than version 1 or 2. That is
the world of software, and is caused by working new ideas and
features into existing software (version advances).
As to "why" changes are made, I don't have access to the
development team so am not privy to the reasons behind any
revisions.
What I can tell you is that if you are including
text-captions in recording, it is always a good idea to place the
mouse over (actually, near but not over) a click-able area and
manually capture the image prior to actually clicking it. That is
the way you can simulate the mouse moving over a menu, with the
color change shown on the menu item before it is clicked. (Hope
that made sense)...
I know you didn't ask, but that has been a "best practice"
since RoboDemo when using auto-record ... and is what we mean when
we refer to "supplementing" the auto-recording with manual screen
shots.
For those times when the highlight box is appearing too soon,
that behavior will also be fixed by recording in this manner ...
and once again, I hope I have made myself clear, as sometimes my
fingers get ahead or behind my mind.
