Hi all

We've found 2 critical issues on Samigo. The steps to reproduce it are:

1.Create a 10 minutes timed assessment which has only one allowed 
submission.
2.The student takes the assessment e.g. at 11:00:00.
3.When assessment's time is going to finish, the student opens other 
tool, and he comes back to assessment e.g. at 11:10:20 (20 seconds after 
time limit is reached which it is 10 minutes). Next the student is able 
to take the expired assessment. If student takes the assessment and he 
closes the browser, the backend java thread submits the assessment when 
new time limit is reached at 11:20:20(ten minutes after last take).


1.Create a 10 minutes timed assessment which has only one allowed 
submission .
2.The student takes the assessment e.g. at 11:00:00.
3.When assessment's time is going to finish, the student opens other 
tool, and he comes back to assessment e.g. at 11:10:20 (20 seconds after 
time limit is reached which it is 10 minutes). Next the student is able 
to take the expired assessment. If student takes the assessment, then 
the time counter shows: "Time's up" however the student is either able 
to continue the assessment for a few seconds and able to submit it.


Do you know if there is any related Jira? Has anyone had the same issue?

Thanks,
Raúl
