Text Editor
When you overlap a text field with other text or graphics such as lines
the original text field stays fixed but whatever is overlapped moves.
One text fieldwith 2 lines oftext to makethe faction:
Here I am going to write an expression with a fraction and a radical.When I overlap that with a fraction bar, a line for the top of theradical and a "3" for the root, those things move around when thetest is viewed in "test taking" mode. In fact, if you just look at theslide fingernail preview to the right, you can see that stuff is moved inthe preveiw (as well as this text not displayed accurately).
this looks fine in
editor mode.
y = 2 x + 6       5
fraction baroverlapped movesout of place.
y = √67x4 + 2
3
"3" and top of
radical move
out of place.
To get this to display better, I have to create several text fields for asingle expression. Below is the fraction.

fraction bar now does
not overlap anything.
Here is my temporary work around

Two text fields one

Two text fields onefor before the radicaland one for after.

Make the background of the answer field clear so it does not block outinformation close to it.When I have students answer things like property of log questions,sometimes the answer box appears bigger than it is displayed in thetest file and blocks out the "log" text.
Here are also some "nice to have fixed" things that I can work around
easily but woud be nice to have redesigned.
Answer:
log3
-
For some reason these display bigger
and block out the text "log3"
log3
Have the ability to size the text box and have it wrap automatically.Otherwise you have to keep hitting return to keep the text from runningoff the page and it you want to resize it you have to go back in and hitreturn in different spots.
Below is the same test with no returns hit.

Have the ability to specify different colors all in the same text field.
The statement below is powerful visually for my students, which is whyI love to use color but requires 7 text fields. :(
