Issues with latest SL patch:

Dec 21, 2012

Hello Heroes,

We're having some issues with the latest SL patch. We've created workarounds for two problems encountered.

1. Problem: in a text entry field, hitting backspace doesn't work when published to a CD. When published to Web it works.

Workaround: creating a clear button that has a trigger that says: Set "variable name" equal to (blank) when the user clicks. Not as clean as I'd like the layout to be, but it works.

2. Problem: Scroll panels cut off text in text boxes when the initial state "Normal" is shorter than the other states within the same text box 

Workaround: typing in returns past the length of the longest state of the text box on the Normal state.

I really don't like having super long scroll bars when they're not necessary. It looks unprofessional. I didn't have this issue before the 2nd patch. It worked as it should in the previous version. Is there anyone else having the same problems? Are there any other workarounds that people know of?

Thanks in advance,

Jesse

Hi Jesse,

I tested the CD and backspace issue to see if I experienced the same problem. I did. So, I decided to dig a little further and it looks like we have a very similar bug report for fill in the blank questions when published to CD. I'm going to add this information for the text entry field to the current bug. 

For the second issue, can you share the .story file here, or just a slide with the content that isn't functioning properly?

Thanks very much!

Sure, here you go. I've attached a single slide, but its having the same issues across the entire project.

It's for an educational book company called The Critical Thinking Co. It's just a snippet of the test teaching students on what an "inference" is.

I've unfixed the fix I created by removing the returns from the initial state of the correct answer feedback layer.

There are 4 responses you can get for getting parts of the question correct or incorrect:

Correct: check b, c and select best evidence of 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Partially correct (multiple choice right, best evidence wrong): check b, c and select sentences 1, 2, 3 and 4, for example.

Partially correct (multiple choice wrong, best evidence correct): check all but b and c together and select sentences 12, 13, 14 and 15

Incorrect response: select a, b, c or d, without choosing b and c together, and select sentences 1, 2, 3 and 4, for example.

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the file. I love baseball, this is a great looking course!

I got a little ahead of myself, when I didn't see the problem with the correct feedback. However, I went back and looked at the partially correct response and I saw the cut off. 

Would you mind submitting this to our tech team so we can get this tested and see what may be causing this in the update? I haven't seen this come up yet, so it would be great if we could get started on testing as soon as possible. You shouldn't need to attach an additional file, just share the link to this thread. Also, please share the case details with me, so I can update this thread or refer to it when working on this issue.

Thanks again, Jesse. I really appreciate all the information!

Christine

I posted a link to this thread in the last text box on the support ticket. It doesn't show in the email however. My guess is it just doesn't get sent with the automatic response to receiving a submission.

This is in regards to the second problem in the first post on the thread.
