Course Description Text Appending at Start

Site Operators Site Operations Help

In one of the forms where we want to include some description, the text consistently appears at the beginning instead of at the end of the existing content.

Anyone is familiar with this issue and has an idea how to fix it ?

@aa-perseus we’d need more detail to help you debug this.

  • What version of Tutor are you using?
  • What problem type is this?
  • Is it every instance of this problem type, or just one?
  • If you delete this problem and make a new one, does the issue persist?

It also looks like you might have the “Right Justify” option set:

Can you try clicking the “Left Justify” option?

is this happening only in one particular browser or is it reproducible in multiple browsers? Further, is it happening with multiple users or only a single user/workstation/device?

@joel.edwards @joel.edwards

It’s actually weird because we experience this in only one single field (so far),
which is the one in Course Settings>Schedule and Details > Course overview
(See screenshots)

@sarina No I don’t think so as the buttons in the screenshot you shared are about lists and indentation settings.

The context of Course Overview actually seems to be the kicker here! I can confirm that the issue is present in Teak.2 release but not in Master.

@aa-perseus can you try switch to the master branch and see if that resolves your issues? There might be something there that fixed a bug which went unnoticed and needs to be backported into Teak (just assumption, I haven’t isolated the exact issue)

To use master branch you can do so via a plugin like this:

# ~/.local/share/tutor-plugins/authoring_mfe_master.py
from tutormfe.hooks import MFE_APPS

@MFE_APPS.add()
def _override_authoring_mfe(mfes):
    mfes["authoring"] = {
        "repository": "https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring.git",
        "version": "master", 
        "port": 2001, 
    }
    return mfes

Following which:
tutor plugins enable authoring_mfe_master Enable your plugin
tutor images build mfe rebuild your MFE’s
tutor local stop && tutor local start -d restart your server
test again and confirm if it works?

Note being on the master branch you may encounter other bugs as this is an area of active development.
