      1. Go to the question bank.
      2. Create a true-false question with question text "HTML tag like <title> in question text". (Question type does not matter. This text is what you type into the HTML editor, so the actual question text include & lt;title& gt; - spaces added to stop the tracker messing this up.)
      3. In the question bank, set "Show question text in the question list?" to "text only".
      4. Verify that the entire page displays properly.

      Hi,

      we are using Moodle 4.1.4+ and we found a strange issue if someone use the html-tag "<title>" in question text:

      • as a teacher go to question bank
      • create a category "my question"
      • create a multiple choice question in this category
      • type in some question name
      • type in a question text which contains the word <title>
      • save question
      • change to category "my question"
      • change "Show question text in the question list?" to "Yes, text only" --> question bank freezes

      PS: we are using TinyMCE Editor. I did some tests in Moodle 4.1.6+ and the problem still exists. Attached you can find a moodle xml question which causes this problem.

      br, Anton
