Recorded an Assessment and it get stuck at text box entries

Question

Hello,
I am using Captivate 3 and have been sucessful in recording assessments in the past.  I am currently recording a tutorial on how to add pictures to a word document, resize, crop and title and comment on the picture.  The tutorial has what I call a "show me" then a "try me".  The demonstration (show me) works great.  The assessment (try me) I am recording directoy after the demonstration includes text box entries and this is the first time one of my assessments included those and they seem to be my issue.  First "interesting" thing that happened was that the text entry boxes spaned over the width of my project so I had to shrink them down to the targeted area.  Once I have them in the correct area I  and I run the project, everything works beautifully until I get to the text entry boxes.  I am able to enter text...but that is it.  I can't move forward or click anywhere else.
I am attaching screen shots...not sure it will help.
First screenshot is the first text box entry. where the words Living room need to be typed. 
Second screenshot is the next slide where I thought I should be able to move down and place an X next to Paint All.  BUT as you can see I shifted the text box a bit and there is no evidence of the words Living Room.
Third screenshot is where I shifted the text entry box up slightly to see only the word living is available BUT it looks like it now wants me to click next to paint all..but at the same time waiting for the word room to populate.  (Gosh I hope this makes sense)
The last screen shot is showing the full text entry of Living Room and now looks like it wants me to check next to Paint All  EXCEPT I can't get past the first screen shot.
Thanks in advance and much appreciation any thoughts anyone can lend in sorting this issue out.

It is not very clear on your screenshots, but it seems to me that in the first screenshot the Text Entry Box is inactive right from the start (looked at the timeline). Same for second and fourth screenshot. Only the third one seems to have an active region for the TEB. An interactive object that is set to inactive, I believe you cannot have any interactivity. Could you check?
The entry in a TEB has to be confirmed: either by a Submit button (is not there) or by a shortcut (default is Enter). What did you choose?
You spoke about TEB spread over the entire project, that could mean that in the tab Options of the Properties of this TEB, the option 'Display for entire project' was activated in the Timing. It is here that you can change the timing, and the active/inactive time period.
Perhaps this was the explanation you needed?
