[open] timeout in tex_input
Hi,
In my experiment I want participants to solve math problems for 1min as a filler task. I built the experiment on my mac and used text_input with a timeout of 15s, and accepting timeout as response to move to the next:
set _question "[math]"
set accept_on "timeout"
set background "black"
set font_family "sans"
set font_size "24"
set foreground "white"
set frame "yes"
set frame_width "3"
set linewidth "580"
set timeout "15000"
this worked in the mac version: you would have 15 seconds for each problem, and it would move to the next one after this time, regardless of response.
when I tested it on the windows version at the lab, it behaved differently: when timeout is reached, it needs a keypress/response to move to the next item.
any clues?
(backend: legacy; version: mac 29; win 28)

Hi Pedro,
This seems to be simply due to different versions of OpenSesame: 2.8.X for Windows (which is quite old) and 2.9.X on Mac OS.
For the best crossplatform consistency, I would use the latest version that is available for both operating systems. Currently, this is 2.9.7, because the 3.0.X series hasn't been packaged for Mac OS yet.
Cheers!
