    Description

      One of the features of the "Full screen pop-up with some JavaScript security" setting is that, with JS disabled in the browser, the buttons available to start and continue an attempt are not show and, instead a "Javascript must be enabled to continue!" message is shown.

      And that exact feature has been covered by a test always (see point #4 of MDLQA-10502 for Moodle 3.3).

      But it seems that, with the changes performed by MDL-46091 this feature stopped working (since Moodle 3.1) and now it's perfectly possible to start/continue an attempt with JS disabled, so it accepts copy/paste... rendering the "Full screen pop-up with some JavaScript security" setting useless.

      So this issue is about to make that functionality back to work and avoid showing those start/continue buttons to anybody with JS disabled when the setting is enabled.
