My suggestion is to have flag like SESSION->keepattemptstate during such editing would be not hard to implement to resolve difficults with page reloading on editing. Then overall inconsistence would be easy to resolve in favour of review options.

Improved 'Immediately after the attempt' handling is a separate issue: MDL-18395

This isssue seems even more tied together because of even large inconsistency found: under some review options student can't see an attempt (with the questions) at all, and using them (except right after finishing) is a usual practice when a teacher want to protect his question bank. But they are not affected teachers reviewing a preview and for a good reason! This is settles for me a question about whether should previewing review respect review options - it should not, or if it will do it consistently teacher may end up been unable to do this.

There may be two ways of resolving this:
1) easy workaround that will do the job in most of the cases: either
a) rework "immediately after the attempt" to avoid time limit (it's actually nasty on multipaged quizzes review)
b)or consider every preview review as beem immediately after the attempt
2) overall solution - give a teacher controls on preview review page about what he can see - what will be seen by a student, or all information.

Hmm ... it seems that I have an idea how to settle this. There are two ways to start preview now (at least in 1.9): using preview tab and using a button on intro tab. They are intentionally work different: first used to just look at the quiz, second lets a teacher to see things from the student perspective (i.e. time limit, warning dialog and so on).

I think that review options should resemle that too. I.e. if you starting preview using a tab, then it's review won't affected by quiz review options, while if you starting preview using a button quiz review options will be in place. This increase consistency and teacher will be able to select what mode he really want to use each time.

I think that is too mysterious.

A much easier to understand solution would be a clear selector on the review page, where the teacher can choose the state (immediately after the attempt, while the quiz is still open, or after the quiz is closed). The third choice should only be there if the quiz has a close date.

Maybe too mysterious, thought it was you that described me this difference and insist it is a good one

Anyway, clear selection is definitely good solution. However I would like to add one more option: show all (in case no review options allow this but teacher want to see details for question verification for example).

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I don't think the solution proposed by Tim in comment from 01/Oct/09 is implemented. So the problem persists in some sense. Thought under different circumstances.

Note that this is somewhat related to MDL-3030 too.
