Issue: Mouse clicking can select wrong answers

Hi, 

I just completed an exam on Microsoft Forms and noticed that it was very easy to accidentally click the wrong answer, and one of my answers was marked wrong as a result.

How does it happen?

  • The current implementation allows users to click the whole line rather than just the radio button or checkboxes.
  • Since I sometime click inadvertently on the screen, it will change my answer to the wrong one even if I didn't intend to click an answer.
  • If you only allow clicking on the radio button or checkbox instead of the full line, this wouldn't happen.

 

Thanks!

  • In the current design of Microsoft Forms, the entire line (including the text of the question) is interactive. This design is intended to make it easier to select answers without having to precisely click on the smaller radio buttons or checkboxes. However, it can also lead to inadvertent selection changes if you accidentally click somewhere on the line.
