Duplicates of characters in Question Set when using Mark the Words questions

Hi,

We've been experiencing duplicate characters in the Preview and View modes of Question Sets using the Mark the Words questions.  The duplicate characters aren't in the Edit mode, so there isn't a way to correct them.  It seems to be random.  Here is an example:

The duplicate errors can be found on slides 2, 5, 6, and 9.

Thanks,
Erin

Hello !

I've experienced these duplicated characters too. They are not random actually, but they are each time related to the use of quotes / double quotes ("") in the Mark the Words activity. You need to make sure that the quotes that you use are not curled / curly (you have probably copied-pasted the text from a document Word or PDF) to avoid any issue. Also you can try to insert spaces between the marked word and the quotes ; as for me, it did the trick.

Greetings,
