Moodle in English: Stamp image misplacement in PDF annotation

Stamp image misplacement in PDF annotation

by André Mendes - Friday, October 4, 2019, 12:37 AM

Hi everyone!

The image of stamp annotation becomes misplaced after 1) clicking on another stamp 2) resizing browser window or 3) collapsing grade panel.

To illustrate the first case:

example

If we click on reset button, the page reloads and the images go back to the right position.

I have experienced this issue in our Moodle 3.7.1 (at our university) and in MoodleCloud 3.7.1.

This behavior seems to be related to the closed issues MDL-57348 and MDL-65908, however, the problem persists.

Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas or tips?

Thanks in advance!

André

You mentioned MDL-57348, which MDL-60122 ("Assignment grading stamp and comment annotations move when the grader panel is toggled") was determined to be a duplicate of. And since MDL-57348 was fixed, the other issue was supposed to be fixed too.

Please note that some changes were done to "Annotate PDF" after Moodle 3.5 - Some of them led me to open the issue MDL-65908 ("Annotated PDF - Comments can't be added and viewed in RTL user interface") which was fixed later. The issue that I reported on was a product of a try to fix another bug.

So... It is possible that you are facing what is called a regression bug - trying to fix another issue(s) brought back the bug that is mentioned in MDL-60122. I suggest that you read this issue thoroughly, and if you think that's the exact same issue that you encounter, try to re-open it somehow.

Thank you Acqua! Indeed, this is the same issue. I have just added a post to MDL-60122 reporting this possible regression bug.

Hi André,
I just wonder how visible is your comment to the other people who use the tracker. The issue is closed as duplicate, so... Is a comment enough to put the bug back on the radar of the relevant people?
Is there a more "correct" way to re-open a bug?

It's an open question, for me too. If a some more experienced "Moodle Tracker" user who reads this can shed some light on it, it would be great.

After some research, trackers documentation suggests:

=====================================================

What can I do if a problem remains, despite the tracker issue being closed as fixed?

If you find that a bug is still affecting a stable version of Moodle, despite the tracker issue being closed as fixed, please do as follows:

Create a new issue for the bug
Go back to the closed issue and link it to the issue you've just created. This will generate an email notification to all watchers, so they know to watch, vote or comment on the new issue from then on.

=====================================================

The new issue is MDL-66860.

Hope I have done everything right.
