misrecorded answers

Several of my answers in several tests are misrecorded. I answered one way and it says I answered something else. What's going on?

Also, you should have explained that capitalizing, punctuation and accents must be correct. I was marked wrong for not putting a period at the end nd not capitalizing at the beginning. I don't mind but I would like to have known before i took the test.

Hola Bettye,

Your latest kwiz results are excellent and it doesn't seem like there have been any issues with the use of capitalisation, lower case letters, or accents, as the system accepts them as valid unless they lead to a change of meaning. I can't see you haven't lost any points due to punctuation issues, but if it ever happens, please take a screenshot and send it to us so that we can investigate.

Un saludo

Silvia

They still haven't fixed this.   It took me turning on screen recording to figure out what was happening. 

First, the workaround is to do the quizzes from bottom to top and it won't happen anymore.
Secondly, it won't happen if never take focus off the browser because it only changes your answer when you bring focus back to the browser you are taking the quiz on.

Explanation:  When you have dropdown type answers aligned over each other and sequential (1&2, 5&6, etc.) and after answering the first, if you move out of your browser to another application or separate browser instance, when you come back to your quiz it opens the previous dropdown and changes the answer to whatever would line up under your pointer when bringing focus back to the quiz.

People have complained about this for a long time, I don't see them fixing it so either of the suggestions above will stop it from happening.  Of course, you could also just watch for it to happen every time you change focus but that doesn't work for me when I'm concentrating on the quiz so I just started doing all my quizzes from bottom to top, number 10 through number 1.

I'm sorry I didn't help you sooner, I know how frustrating it is.
