Hi everyone,
I’m having some issues with the textBox2 in an online experiment where participants are supposed to type in the corresponding letter to a stimulus.
In the first iteration, it seems to work. From the second onwards, the textBox is not editable unless I get in/out of fullscreen. If I do so, I see the previous input as text in the textBox (not sure it was saved).
This is consistent across firefox, chrome, safari.
I already tried adding a code component with `test_response.editable = true;` and `test_loop.addData(test_response._pixi.text)` but the issue is still there.
Can someone please point me to what’s going wrong?
Thank you.
All the bests,
Filippo

Indeed it answer my problem.
I must have missed it given it’s a builder issue, that’s a lesson on a more accurate search before posting.
Thank you so much!
