If I create a question using the Question Designer, and I insert a Response Area of the List type, and the text of my list items contain multiple consecutive spaces, this will cause problems in the assignments that include this question... In the assignment, if I select an answer for this question using the drop-down list and then I navigate to another question and then return to this question, my answer will not be selected. And if I then navigate away from this question again without reselecting my answer, MapleTA will not record an answer for this question and so it will be marked incorrect. Obviously the solution for users is to not use multiple consecutive spaces. And I will certainly get the word out to our university's instructors not to do so. But even better would be if MapleTA could handle multiple spaces in list items.
