Hello!

While all other options are being displayed properly in preview and actual trial, the “others” option is only being displayed in the preview. Independent if the survey is run embedded in the experiment or separately.

Is someone familiar with this problem?

Thank you!

Hi Severin,

theres a number of us who have encountered this bug which seems to have appeared around the 31st October - see the thread here ['Other' option not appearing when survey is running (works in preview)](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/other-option-not-appearing-when-survey-is-running-works-in-preview/37293)
