Our users report a bug in rendering of the color lines: in a test, when selecting an answer from the dropdown box in a Matching (graphical) question, sometimes no line appears.

I tried to reproduce that in ATutor 1.6pl1 and 1.5.5 with Firefox 1.5, and the result is # 1 below. A more interesting (and maybe related) bug is # 2.

1. Sometimes, when selecting an answer FROM A DROPDOWN BOX, really no line is drawn. It looks like a random and rare event: one for several dozen tries maybe. I haven't noticed any patterns.
I can guess, but couldn't confirm, that it's only a visual bug not influencing the mark a question gets.

2. Try to select an answer FROM A DROPDOWN BOX while holding the mouse: click on the arrow (the dropdown menu should open) and try to drag the arrow onto one of the elements of this menu.
The first time you do it the line will start from where it should, but the second time it will start from somewhere in the upper right corner of the first choice. See the attached image, which also gives an (extreme) example of what can be easily done with it.
But, it's a purely visual bug, the questions affected are marked correctly.
Unlike the first bug, this one is reproducible always, after spending a few minutes trying.

3. The thing that connects the two bug is that sometimes, when you try to reproduce the first bug, you get the second, without dragging anything anywhere. Randomly, without obvious patterns.

The JavaScript error console is empty.
