Question page not recognizing answers with apostrophe

Hello,

I have a few questions after my lesson content that have short form answers.

Example:

Julie _____ (not / drink) tea very often.

answers are either doesn't drink, or does not drink. For some reason it won't take doesn't drink for an answer. When I change doesn't drink to doesnt drink it will accept it. I have this problem with other short form questions as well. Any ideas how I can fix that? I'm using Moodle version 2.0.1+ (Build: 20110105).

Regards,

Shawn
