In my script, I have a trial where I manually set the position of the mouse to the center of the screen before advancing to the next trial. I've confirmed that this trial works properly when I run my Inquisit script locally. However, when I distribute the experiment to my participants online, the mouse appears at the last position it was in on the previous trial. This makes me think that my mouse place trial is being skipped over or failing in some way. 

Here is the trial snippet where I set the mouse:

<trial place_mouse>
/ ontrialbegin = [mouse.x = 50%;
                mouse.y = 50%;
]
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ stimulustimes = [0 = color_wheel, FixationCross]
/ recorddata = false
/ responseinterrupt = trial
/ timeout = 17
/ branch = [    
    if (values.numtargs == 1){
        trial.first_recall1
    } else if (values.numtargs == 3){
        trial.first_recall3
    }
]
</trial>

I'm not sure how an isolated code snippet is supposed to allow me to ascertain whether said code snippet is somehow "skipped."

At a minimum, provide a clear explanation of what (you think) the code is supposed to do. Provide the relevant context. Provide a link to the script.
