Hello,

I encountered a strange problem while running the code. One of the questions' checkboxes remain on the screen even though I move to the next screen. It actually continues to remain on the screen till the end of the experiment. What can I do to solve this weird issue? Please see the attached pictures to see the problem in action. 

Try performing a clearscreen after the surveypage containing the textbox.

how do you do that? how do you perform a clearscreen? is there a code for that?

In whatever trial or surveypage that follows the page containing the textboxes, do

/stimulusframes = [1=clearscreen]

In whatever trial or surveypage that follows the page containing the textboxes, do

/stimulusframes = [1=clearscreen]
