Hi Daniel,

There's a bug on this as well. But it's a bit tricky.

Here's the explanation:

This only occurs if the teacher in monitor for the Wiki activity has clicked on the "Edit activity" button.

While the teacher edits the activity, if a learner reaches the activity, this message saying "the teacher is editing the activity" is displayed.

However, if the teacher decides to cancel the editing, the Wiki tool should release this flag and let the students see the content.

But for some reason, the "Cancel" button does not release this flag. Therefore the students are literally "stuck" in the activity.

There's a way around this though and it's to click on the Edit activity in monitor and instead of clicking the Cancel button, just press "Save". That way the flag is removed.

At any rate, this is a bug as the Cancel button should also remove the flag and currently it isn't.

So I raised this development task for it.

Thanks Daniel... any more bugs, please report them! We love to squish bugs!

Ernie
