Clicking BACK button skips every other page

When I click the Back button in my module skips every other page. Clicking Next works fine. I have never seen this happen in all the years I've used Lectora. It's so ridiculous that I have to explain it even more simply - If I'm on page 9 and I click the Back button, it goes to page 7 then I click Back again and it goes to 5 and so on. It doesn't matter matter if I'm on an odd or even page...same thing happens.

I'm confused by your suggestion to re-create if the Target = Previous Page. It's supposed to go to the Previous Page.

I totally understand your point. Even though it may say 'Previous Page', for whatever reason, it is not doing it. My suggestion was to recreate a new Back Button from scratch. If the new Back Button still skips every other page, then theres something else going on.

Very odd... I would check the Back Button's action to see if its Target is set to "Previous Page". If it is, I would recreate a new Back Button from scratch. Don't copy and paste the existing one as there is already something funky about it.

You are correct. Re-creating the button worked. I don't know why I didn't think of something so simple. I guess I placed too much trust in the default buttons that Lectora provides us and it clouded my free-thinking self.


Thanks!
