Quiz Question display

Hi all

Just wondering how I can change the quiz question display so that the question text starts at the top of the form, rather than all this wasted space at the top.  See attached screen image for clarification.  

Cheers Tee.

It should start at the top.

Which version of Moodle are you using? Which web browser are you using?

I assume the blank space is not there when you are editing the question.

I have tried both IE7 and Google Chome - both display the same.  I have double checked all setting but there appears to be nothing that fixed it.

I am using Moodle 2.2.

Hello Tee,

Are you using a custom theme ? If yes can you try the standard theme to see if the problem is still there ?

Also do you have this problem with all questions or only with some of them ?

It is odd that this happens in Chrome too. There is a classic Internet Explorer bug that causes this sort of result, but it can't be that.

If you are using Moodle 2.2, then the obvious thing to try is to upgrade, to at least 2.2.7, but better 2.4.1.

Apart from the blank space at the top of your question text I notice that the question text and the answers texts are all in italics.

Did you actually type the question text in the question editing HTML editor field OR was that text copied & pasted from your Word processor or some other source?

I suspect the latter, which means you have unwittingly brought over some hidden formatting into your question text, which results in the problem displayed.

I notice on this screenshot that everything is in italics. This is really weird. As Jean-Michel asked, are you using a custom theme? Try switching to the standard theme to see if it solves your problem.

I think we have a stadnard theme and yes it is happening to all questions.

Guess it is one for our developers to resolve...
