I noticed the other day that the pretty Captivate path motion functions differently than I previously thought…

The initial path direction is always to the the left or right (when not going either straight up or straight down) rather than being controlled by whether the starting mouse position is on one side or another of the horizontal or 45 degree axes (sp. for plural of axis??)

When working with software, do you ever think that a feature would be more obvious if properly named/described/organized? Do you think there’s been an omission from a menu or dialog box?

This is the first of a series of planned, constantly updated posts related to minor corrections to the labels and dialogs used in applications. If you agree or disagree, please comment below. If you really agree with an item, go to the Adobe Features/Bugs Form and vote for it yourself. It takes 3 minutes, and is the best way to be heard, especially when a request is logged by multiple users.
