Submit all parts on "choose one from a list" can produce "answered" status on unanswered parts #953

I have a question with many "choose one from a list" parts. I answered some but not others and hit "submit all". No message was emitted, and now NUMBAS claims all parts have been "answered", even the ones where I never selected an option. The ones that were actually answered can be distinguished because the selected option is highlighted, but the fact that it claims all were answered is confusing.

This is in contrast to the "code" part, where "submit all parts" leaves untouched parts "unanswered" and also leaves any that don't pass validation tests "unanswered".

Can you give me a link to a question where this happens?

https://numbas.mathcentre.ac.uk/question/share/view/21d0544a-be64-4b48-b999-b9f299366ffe - use "test run", answer one or two, hit "submit", and all the unanswered ones are marked as answered but wrong. In a summative setting, you don't even get the feedback that they're wrong.

Thanks, that helped me solve it.
