Rubric Options Remain in SpeedGrader if Grade Isn't Entered

[bourjaim]

When using SpeedGrader, I prefer to use Horizontal layout for rubrics, as I have some text-heavy criteria that can cause issues with my screen layout.  I just discovered that, if I don't issue a grade and just switch to the next student, the rubric remains in "Horizontal" mode. 

However, once I enter a grade and go to the next student in SpeedGrader, the next student's rubric switches back to "Traditional."  I then have to change it, which doesn't seem very...speedy at all.

Can you please allow users to keep their preferred option, so the user doesn't have to switch every time?

Hi there, @bourjaim ...

It sounds like you'd like to see some functionality changed and/or updated in the way that the SpeedGrader displays layouts for rubrics.  I'm not aware that you can set a "default" layout, but if you would like to make a suggestion, there's a different place here in the Community where you can do just that.  Check out these Guides for more information:
