Underscores not displaying correctly in Rise question pools

Aug 15, 2022

I am creating question pools in Rise and have some questions where the user will choose a multiple choice option to complete a blank space in a sentence. 

For example: A popular holiday that falls in October is called ___________.

The "blank" line that appears seems fine in the preview, but when I export the file to LMS or PDF format, the blank line appears as dashes. 

For example: A popular holiday that falls in October is called _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Does anyone know what may be causing this? I haven't inserted any spaces.

Hi Libby! So sorry to hear that your underscore characters have spaces in between when viewed in your LMS.

  • Does the same issue appear in all supported browsers?
  • Is it happening to all of your questions with underscores or just one?
  • Are you copying and pasting questions from a source file?

I just did a test and uploaded it in SCORM Cloud and here's how it looks in Chrome:

Here's how it looks in PDF format:

Hi again, Libby. If it's ok, we'd like to see your SCORM package to troubleshoot on our end. We keep your content secure and delete it when we're done troubleshooting. You can attach it using this case form

If we can't reproduce it on our end, I'd recommend having other folks in your organization test the link from your LMS as well as the PDF on their computer to start investigating some environmental possibilities on your side. Thanks!
