Answer Question
Little keyboard entry bug
A few times I ran into a strange error in the exercises "Write the phrase you read" section (level 1 right now). I would have the right answer but the "Next" button would not work and the text would shake like the answer was wrong. I would review the typed verbiage letter by letter and I was right. I would then click to see the answer and I matched and I could not figure out what to do so I would retype the answer again and it would take.
I managed to recreate it on accident and have since verified that it is repeatable everytime. On my keyboard the ESC key is close enough to the ~ key that I bump it. Hitting the ESC key does not display a character or even a space since the cursor does not move but it does count as input for your answer. Since you have no idea if you bumped the ESC key, or maybe some other hidden / no character key, you can have what appears to everyone's eyes at a right answer but the software will detect is as wrong. The only way to fix it is to delete your whole answer and start over.
Very low level entry issue but it could frustrate users if they cannot figure out what is going on.
Thanks!
