Bug 1: Absence of end-of-timer message display.

A) Questionnaire setup:

• Create a questionnaire:
  • Settings > General settings > "question by question"
  • Create a single group.
  • Q1: First question: Default settings (long text without specific configuration).
  • Q2: Second question, long text with special settings.
  • Special settings for Q2 (timer):
  • Time limit for the question: 20
  • Duration of the end-of-countdown message display: 10
  • Action after countdown expiration: "Warn and continue"
  • Q3: Third question, long text without special settings.
  • Questionnaire settings:
  • "Activate the questionnaire"
  • (Keep various options as "No" and "public access mode" -> save and activate).
  • "Run the questionnaire."

B) Repetition:

1) Reference behavior:

• Fill in Q1: Fill ("abcd") + click on next.
• Fill in Q2: Fill ("abcd") + click on next.
• (No timer is triggered because the questionnaire is completed.)
• Fill in Q3: Fill ("abcd") + click on submit.

2) Problematic behavior:

• Fill in Q1: Fill ("abcd") + click on next.
• Q2: Do not fill in Q2, then wait without doing anything.
• There is an automatic click to move to the next page, but the red message is barely visible.
• (It appears very briefly for a second.)
• The message should have been displayed for 10 seconds.
• Fill in Q3: Fill ("abcd") + submit.

C) Bug description:

• The 10-second display duration setting is not respected.

Bug 2: Use of the timer on the same page:

A) Questionnaire setup:

• Create a questionnaire:
  1) General settings: "group by group."
  2) Group 1:
  • One question without specific settings.
    3) Group 2:
  • First question with a 20-second timer.
  • Second question without specific settings.
    4) Group 3:
  • One question without specific settings.

B) Questionnaire execution scenarios:

Reference behavior:

• Complete all questions by filling them out.

Problematic behavior:

• Group 1 / Question 1:

  • Fill in and click on next.
  • Everything is normal.

• Group 2 / Questions 2 and 3:

  • Do not fill in Q2 or Q3, causing the timer to expire.
  • LimeSurvey automatically clicks on next.
  • However, there is no opportunity to fill in the second question of Group 2, which is abnormal.
  • (Unless the question is mandatory).

• Group 3 / Question 4:

  • Fill in the question and click on submit.

Interpretation:

• Having a timed question on the same page as an untimed question is not compatible, as the timer for Q2 prevents filling in Q3.
