Response from developer

Thank you for the review, and sorry that lesson gave you trouble. I have not managed to reproduce it on my end yet, so if you get a moment, email me at support@tarsierlearn.com. Even just which lesson it was would help me track it down. There is a big update on the way too, which may well sort it. Gathrean, solo dev
