Radio buttons too close to answers in quizzes and spacing can't be changed?

Hello, i recently encountered this oddity with the spacing between the radio button and the correct response being too close, but then adjust out properly when selected while taking the quiz.

My quiz was imported from an XLS file formated according to the Storyline standards. it was not obvious if I should include a space between the * and the correct response, but I tried it both ways. both yielded this defect.

I tried just manually creating a quiz question inline with the others and copy pasted the question into it. this was T/F so no long answers. the spacing issue did NOT appear for this question only. So, something about importing seems to cause it.

I then went back through every question and selected the row of an incorrect response, Copied the Formatting (home ribbon Format Painter), and then Pasted it on the Correct response radio button.

That appears to have fixed the spacing problem!  I could not see any difference in properties from one row to another, but Copy Formatting found something and corrected it.

that is tedious, but successful.

so, there is likely something to investigate with Importing quiz questions from Excel.
