    Description

      Error when trying to export the quiz report of a CLONED quiz (imported to a new course) as an excel spreadsheet using Internet Explorer 9. The file downloads but is saved without a filetype (and is unrecognised when opened), and is missing the name of the quix in the filename (it just has a prefix name) - so if you download several quizzes from the same course they would overwrite. Using Firefox the same quizzes download as recognised xls filetypes and the filename is appended with the quiz name. Exporting the report for the original quiz (created in a different course) works as expected with both browsers - it's the copy that was imported to the second course that shows this behaviour.
