Your LimeSurvey version: LimeSurvey Community Edition Versión 5.6.56+240227
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own server, hosted in Google Cloud Platform ( Bitnami package for LimeSurvey )
Survey theme/template: Vanilla
==================
Hi!
As you can see, I have a hosted server from the package put together by Bitnami.

My question/problem is this: in a survey with backwards navigation activated, the text entered in the 'other' box of a question disappears when going back from the next section/page (this happens if the survey is in "section/page mode" or in "question/page mode"). But this only happens in multiple choice questions; in single choice questions, the box remains 'open' and text is there when I go back and forward, but in multiple choice questions, when I go back, the options 'other' remains selected but the box and the text disappears.

1- Is this the intended or designed behaviour, or is this a bug?
2- If is a bug, can it be solved?
3- If is intended, can it be circumvented via some .js code, theme manipulation, etc.?

Survey attached in case is needed. Q01 and Q03 are single choice and Q02 is multiple choice, backwards navigation is activated, vanilla theme, and end page is added so you can navigate back and forward without sending it. 


 

Seems to be 6.5.9-0 according to the link

I can reproduce on 6.5.11
Clearly a bug : you can report the issue.
Remind to tell it's related to the button question theme

(temporary fix : use simple single choice and multiple choice)

Denis, I think the link directs to the Bitnami offering, but OP seems to have an older version (5.6.56+240227) that hasn't been updated in over a year.

If OP is really on LS5 I don't think this will be fixed as LS5 is EOL as of this month. So probably the solution is to upgrade to LS6 and check if the bug still exists and if so make a bug report.

Yes,

But I can reproduce on 6.5.11 with included survey.

then bug still exist in 6.X
