Did it, including the digit ratio.

I may have found a problem-- if I didn't click on the background after answering a radio button question, then using the down arrow marked a lower radio button. I think I cleared up all the resulting errors, but it took two passes, and I may not have caught all the errors.

I didn't express how serious I think the down-arrow problem is, though perhaps my computer habits are unusual enough that no one else had it.

I think it led to at least ten wrong answers, and some of them showed up on the second pass when I was correcting the first batch.

Did anyone else notice this problem?

Always an annoying thing about radio-buttons on scrolling pages. I adjusted to clicking on the background in such situations a long time ago (for the most part), but it still really annoys me.

I've learned to use the mouse, and not the keyboard, when answering this sort of thing. YMMV.

I was hyper-aware of this problem, since it's happened to me on internet surveys in this past, so I nervously clicked on the background at least once before scrolling down each time. If there was some way to know that this wouldn't happen it would be a bit of a weight off my mind :p

I usually scroll using the PageDown key and/or the scrollwheel on my mouse (I mean, the side bar on my touchpad, but I'm too used to using the word “mouse” to refer to any pointing device).

Nthed. I had to scroll using only the mouse.

Since you can move through that with the tab key, I don't think it's a significant problem.
