glitch before open ended question

By nrouhani - 11/19/2021

hello, 
i am wondering if there is a way to reduce what appears to be a glitch before the appearance of an open ended question. here, right before the text box displays, there is appearance of the underlying desktop (see picture below for the screen before the open ended question and video below for example - attached screen occurs after the fan stimulus and before the text box). i've also included relevant code below. is there any way to prevent this from happening? thank you for your help!
 (if photo doesn't load, it's the background with what looks like a square cut out showing the desktop)

I would try setting the /erase attribute for the fan stimulus to /false.
