lavender highlight appearing on static text
May 08, 2013
I have a multiple choice quiz, and the incorrect feedback layer has regular standard text that says they got the question incorrect. When I preview this page, or preview the whole course, the text in question appears to have a hover state (which it shouldn't). When I mouse over it, i get the "pointer finger" icon, and there is a lavender box that appears behind the text. It looks like a hover state, but there is no states on this text. It might also be worth noting that the lavender box is not properly aligned to the text. (the first letter of the first word is not within the lavender box). This is NOT happening on the correct feedback layer.
Why is this happening/how do i fix this?

Hi, Sarah: That's odd, for sure. Any way you could attach a screen shot?
Have others worked on this file? Sort of sounds like someone inserted a hotspot or some other object on your feedback master. I'd suggest taking a look at the "feedback master." You can check that out by selecting the "view" tab and then "feedback master." That should show you everything on that level.
Thanks, Sarah. I assume you didn't see any unwanted object over that text when you went into "feedback master"?
To figure out what's going down, I might experiment with creating a new feedback master and see if that removes all things lavender.
Nope, it doesn't seem to be connected to the feedback master. The one im using is completely blank. Even with a new feedback master, the problem still exists.
Hey Sarah :)
Are you able to post the .STORY file here? It may be easier to find out what's causing this if we can see the project.
Thanks!
I solved this one myself, although its more of an avoidance of the problem, rather than an actual solution. I found that if i did a direct copy of the textbox element, the problem persisted. However, when i created a new text box and re-typed the content, and simply deleted the old version, the issue no longer occurred.
Didn't solve it, but it eliminated it!
Looks like you're on a roll today, Sarah :) Nice job!
Still curious what may have caused that, though. If it happens again, I'd still be happy to check it out.
Thanks!
Nice work, Sarah. Glad you were able to figure it out. --Daniel
