Classic quiz - students no longer can input scientific notation in formula questions

[blachman]

I have several formula questions in classic quizzes whose answers require scientific notation.  These questions have worked in past years.

Today, students cannot input scientific notation (e.g., 6.02e23) even though the algorithm is unchanged and the sample answers show scientific notation as for example 6.02e23.  When students try to do so, an error message pops up stating only numerical answers are allowed.

Update:  It seems that even though Canvas "disappears" a student's attempt using scientific notation and displays the error message that only numerical responses are allowed, that the student's answer is actually kept and scored, which can be seen after the quiz when reviewing that student's responses.

Still, it is very alarming and stressful to students to have their answer disappear and get the error message.  This bug needs to be fixed.
