Hi Robley,
There might be some caching issue going on when trying problems out in
the "Show Resource" view. Was this what you were doing?
I did some testing on the FSU library server and I noticed that
something was up if you viewed the problem using the "Show Resource"
browsing functionality. The question text displayed "(x|y)" instead of
the later version's "(x,y)." This was not the case when I viewed the
problem earlier both by clicking the problem name from the browsing
screen and by putting the problem in a course.
I hit the Update Display button on the browsing screen and I think it
works better now. Try this out and let me know if that fixes it. If
so, send a reply and I'll write up a bug report or you can write the
report yourself.
Stefan, if you do some testing of your own and write up the bug report,
just copy Robley and me on it.
