first text box in Moodle (1.9.3) quiz

A student has reported a problem with the first (html) text box in a Quiz.

"I initially typed the answer into the box as usual but when I went back to double check my answers before hitting the submit button the field was empty. I tried to re-write the answer into the box but it wouldn’t let me type anything in it.

All the other boxes worked fine"

It is a known problem that the second and subsequent text boxes in a quiz do not allow student to use html editing. 

Is this another symptom of the same underlying problem?

I don't recall seeing a report like that before, and I can't think what might cause behaviour like that.

However, if you are running something as old as 1.9.3, you must expect bugs. Please consider upgrading.
