Drag and Drop Exercise: buttons disappear

Hi,

when I hit the 'Send' button in a Drag and Drop exercise the quiz buttons 'Back', 'Reset' and 'Send' (that come automatically with the Drag and Drop exercise) disappear.

Any idea what's going wrong?

    I see, in English this are the buttons Undo, Reset and Submit. Only the last one is really necessary. The two other buttons can be chosen in the Actions tab but are not compulsory.

    If you have kept the default settings, which means 1 Attempt and both the actions On Success and On Failure are left to Continue it is normal that all the buttons disappear after clicking on the Submit button. They will also disappear when you have given a correct answer, even though the attempts are not exhausted. They will remain on the slide when you have an incorrect answer and the attempts are not exhausted: in that case the buttons will remain and the Failure caption appears. With Undo the last action can be undone, with Reset all drag sources are returned to their original location. Both buttons are also active before Submitting the answer.

    I suspect you mean the 'Submit' button? D&D has no automatic Back button, nor a Send. You can choose to have an Undo and a Reset button. Maybe you should post a screenshot of the buttons you are talking about, because I cannot recognize them? Please, also tell which version you are using.
