Moodle plugins directory: Gapfill

Good Morning Mr. Marcus Green.

I have been used your plugin for last six months and so far I had no problems. After I update my System, the Google Chrome (Version 77.0.3865.90 64 bits) started to place the distractors words on line, ignoring page boundaries, as you can see in the attachments.

This problem does not occur with the Firefox browser, version 50 (Old Version)

Hi Leandro, could you email me directly at marcusgreen @ mailbox.org, I will see if I can identify the problem.

Hi Marcus,
great plugin, exactly what I was looking for.
However, I have the same problem as Leandro if I use the latest Opera. No problem on the latest Firefox though.
Any solution ? thanks
Denis

Hi Denis, glad you like it. There was an issue with the way the Chrome rendering engine works, and I think Opera uses that engine. I have released a version that works around it and you can read about it (and test the new version) here https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=392066
Let me know if that is the issue.

Hi Marcus,
thank you so much for your quick response.
I updated the plugin through Moodle and I confirm that the boxes now appear in several lines within the boundaries instead of one long line as described by Leandro.
Problem solved. Many thanks!

Denis

Hi Marcus,
This is Joaquín Peña from Spain. Since I upgraded to this last version, my embeded mp3 files now show as a link and not as a player. Perphaps this is normal behaviour or perphaps it is some kind of buggy stuff.

Thanks so much for such a nice pluggin and your dedication
Joaquín

Can you open an issue ticket here https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/issues and give you moodle version, question type version and the theme you are using.

Dear all !

In recent years, GapFill questions have worked wonderfully with formulas that are not written in LaTeX. A few days ago, my colleagues and I found that all formulas stay with dollar signs. Perhaps this is due to the latest updates. Is there any hope that the LaTeX will be readable or that all questions will have to be redone?

Could you post an example in the quiz forum. I don't quite understand your question. It will not allow LaTex to be used for the answer for gaps which is mentioned in the documentation here https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/Gapfill_question_type#Extended_Characters.

Post is in the quiz forum "GapFill with Latex"

A new column was introduced to the main table within the last few releases, and it looks like your installation does not have it.

I get validation error but my site is Moodle 3.1?

That is not enough information to comment, what message did you get?
