Length of the Questions in Matching Q 2.3

Length of the Questions in Matching Q 2.3

I love the Lesson Module because of its flexibility, for instance, I use matching questions as a richer version of False-True questions, by writing the statements in the Question space, and "False" "true" as the only choices. 

In the 1.9 version it worked perfectly; this is a mocking example: 

version 1.9

In Moodle 2.3, however, the "space" for the questions seems to be smaller (below is a real example of one of my courses) making it somehow "confuse". Is this something I could change as a teacher (giving more space for the questions)? Could the local Administrator do it?

matching 23

Thank you all!!!

@ Celine, I agree that this is display is a real problem. I suggest an all CSS solution, which involves adding just one line to one of your current theme's CSS stylesheets. For example, moodle/theme/standard/style/modules.css. Make to copy exactly the line below, respecting spaces, dots, etc. and paste into the css file.

#page-mod-lesson-view .answeroption .fitemtitle {width:50%; text-align:left;}

See attached result.

Hi Joseph! We haven´t been able to modify this display. It happens that we are not using any CSS stylesheet, but the Nimble theme; and we haven´t been able to figure out where (and if) the line you sent us should be pasted into.

Best regards!

Celine "It happens that we are not using any CSS stylesheet, but the Nimble theme..."

Well, any Moodle theme uses (lots of) CSS stylesheets, so you are using them.wink

And you can paste my CSS rule into any of those. For example, you can add it at the end of your moodle/theme/nimble/style/core.css file:

/* Footer */
#page-footer {
    margin-bottom: 25px;
}
#page-mod-lesson-view .answeroption .fitemtitle {width:50%; text-align:left;}

And do remember to empty all your caches so that the change takes effect. I am attaching a screenshot showing the result in Nimble.
