The files that belong to the question hints are neither moved when the
question is moved to another context, nor deleted when the question is
deleted.
Oops! How come no one noticed that until today.
The (partially|in)?correct feedback fields acutally store their files in a file area with component 'question'. Some code, however, was written as if they were stored in the qtype_whatever area.
From OU bug #921 "Order of answer fields in Variable numeric keeps changing" Cannot
reproduce this bug on my system but hopefully this will fix the problem. I added
an ORDER BY clause to the sql for fetching answers with extra answer fields.
The most significant issue is that the HTML editor alwasy wraps <p> tags round the input, but that is not appropriate for the choices. It is especially not appropriate because we want to display the choices in a <lable> for accessibility and usability reasons. In valid HTML label can only contain inline elemnts. Therefore, I introduced a make_html_inline method, with a minimal implementation. (It could be improved in future.)
Long term, I think the best option would be a new form field type, editorinline, or something like that. That would be a smaller version of TinyMCE that only lets you enter inline elements.
