Calculated multichoice question leads to PHP catchable fatal error

Hello to All! 

We updated to Moodle version 3.1

And now we have problems with Calculated multichoice question. This problem is opening for Moodle  2.5.42.6.1 (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-44267)

For example we have a Calculated multichoice question with Multiple tries 

Question 1  

Choices are:

={a}               (grade +100%)

=2*{a}            (grade -50%)

Hint 1: try one more

Penalty for each incorrect try: 33,3333%


If student will check both choices, there will be an error:


Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: PHP catchable fatal error

Debug info: Argument 1 passed to qtype_multichoice_multi_question::disable_hint_settings_when_too_many_selected() must be an instance of question_hint_with_parts, instance of question_hint given, called in [dirroot]/question/type/multichoice/question.php on line 488 and defined
Error code: codingerror

  • line 449 of /question/engine/questionusage.php: call to question_attempt->render()
  • line 253 of /question/preview.php: call to question_usage_by_activity->render_question()

After this student could not continue the test and have to wait when it will close automatically (for us this time is 2 days) and after that he will be able to start new attempt.


I don't know how to resolve the problem. 

Many thanks for all replies!
