Jeff,
What makes you say that your table is too narrow? From the screen shot it looks OK to me, everything seems to fit in.

See this discussion. The bug was fixed at the end of July, you should update your moodle version to 1.8.2+

Hi Oleg,

I have not changed the regular expression syntax. The question mark is part of the classical regular expression syntax, it means "preceding character zero or one occurence". What I have changed between previous 1.6 version and 1.8 version is that I have added an optional Hint button, and also retained the begining of a partially correct student's reponse, to encourage the student to continue, rather than start from scratch when his response is not completely correct. All this is clearly explained, with examples, in the provided online help. Have you read it?

Probably one reason you are experiencing problems with my regexp question type is that you are using it to ask the student to type "strange" programing expressions with all kind of code, when I only intended it to be used for "ordinary language" responses, i.e. with words or short sentences.

>Also, trying to use such questions, I find that "extra blank space (more than one) will be automatically deleted from student's response" isn't quite right. Any other symbols, following extra spaces, will be deleted too, which is quite disappointing.

Can you give me examples of those "other symbols" which are deleted?

Joseph

Sorry, I do not understand your question. Could you re-formulate it, please?
Joseph

Bonjour,
Je ne constate pas ce problème ni sur mon installation locale de moodle 1.8.2+ ni sur le serveur moodle de la fac. (même version). Voir cette discussion (en anglais).
