Changing the Essay Box size but losing the HTML Editor

Hi!

Question's in the title really!

We use Questionnaires a lot for gathering assignment evidence. Some of questions will generate quite a bit of writing from our students, however when I change the HTML box size in the Essay Question (rows and columns) I lose the HTML editor when I go to fill in the questionnaire.

Any ideas? smile

Sorry, should have referred you sooner to the online help which says that that is exactly the expected behaviour:

Essay Question parameters

This question will display a plain text box with x Textarea columns (or area width) and y Textarea rows(number of text lines).
If you leave both x and y to their default 0 value (or if you set it to 0), then HTML editor will be displayed with standard height and width (if available in the course/user context & user profile).
