Odd anomalies: Review Presentation on Chrome (PC) vs. MAC (Firefox)
Hi has anyone come across this. I have sent file to Articulate but thought I'd see if it is a known-known.
I uploaded a module to review for a challenge, it looked fine when I looked at it on Review using PC (which is what I use for Articulate), and it looked fine on Mac(Firefox) via the Review page. But when I came back and rechecked the link via the Challenges page using PC (Chrome), pop-up boxes appeared when text variable field was clicked on. The pop-up box appears to contain prior attempts? at answering the question. I have never seen a text variable box behave in this way i.e. opening a pop-up box.
Attached Screen shot from PC (Chrome) the problem — and from Mac (Firefox) where this odd behavior is not happening.
Many thanks for any input.

This is due to the default auto fill behaviours in chrome. It can be turned off in the browser settings.
Hi Matthew, Thank you. Odder and odder, I always block auto fill. But your response made me recheck all my settings, and curiously things I had blocked or opted-out-of were all switched on!
Re: Module - I guess people who use auto fill will see the unsightly and confusing pop-ups. Do you happen to know if there is any way it can be blocked at the Articulate end, some script maybe?
No, you can’t control browser settings in that way. They are under the users control. Note they’ll only see stuff they’ve typed in those fields.
Thanks, I understand re: user having control over their browser, but it sure makes text input an odd (and unsightly) feature with auto-fill enabled. It also has me rethinking the benefits of offering a quiz retake. Good to know. Thanks again!
