[LON-CAPA-users] another instance of correct answer apparently being unaccepted...

[Rex Abert]

I have been experiencing similar situations, and I'd like to throw in my 2 cents.  For me, I was getting internal errors (bombs) when a student submitted a correct response.  I would see a submission that is graded correct, followed by another submission causing the error.  What I noticed from Doug's and mine is the identical time stamp on the offending transactions.  

I have place screenshots at

I asked the student if she was using a mobile device, and she replied that is was a laptop, but that she was using the touchpad instead of the mouse.
My suspicion is that touch devices are not being handled adequately.  

When a mouse is used, the events fired are mousedown, mouseup, and mouseclick.

With a touch device, the events touchstart, touchmove, and touchend are fired in addition to the mouse events.  I'd wager that the "touchmove" is what is causing a different option for Doug's student to be selected in addition to the correct selection.

I hope that this speculation might turn out to be useful.

Doug,

I have added you to bug 6740, which was filed for a similar situation
in a different domain. Note: that bug is only visible to
bugs.loncapa.org users explicitly included as a CC, reporter or a
developer since it includes some student information.

You may want to copy the screenshots you uploaded to
https://uofi.box.com/ and linked to in your two posts to the
lon-capa-users mailing lists to that bug report as attachments.
