Problem: Even though "Allow reload" is disabled for both the Exam Window/Additional Windows, both "Cmd + R" and using the reload command from the "View" drop-down on the menu bar still allow the page to be reloaded. This is problematic for our test since our testing system will automatically boot a student out of the test and require a resetting process by a testing administrator if the page is reloaded in the middle of their exam.

Additionally, both page and text zoom are enabled and the "zoom in/out" commands can be clicked on in the "View" drop-down, but neither the keyboard shortcut or "View" drop-down actually zoom in/out on the browser page. The OS recognizes that the keys are being pressed to zoom in/out but not actually doing the action. That being said, if I enable the "browser window toolbar" in "User Interface", the buttons that appear for increasing/decreasing page and text zooms work fine, it's just the keyboard shortcuts and View menu that are non-functional even though they appear normal.

Tested this on a Macbook Pro and the issue was replicated in Big Sur (11.6.1), Catalina (don't remember exact version) and Mojave as well.

These issues were fixed in the SEB 3.2pre4 pre-release version. Besides what is listed above, also back/forward navigation using cmd-Cursor left/right was possible.

SEB 3.2 only runs on macOS 10.14 Mojave or newer, we will back port these fixes to SEB 3.1 though.

Thanks so much for the quick work on this! Might not have time to test it out till late today/early tomorrow but will make sure to let you know if I run into any issues when I do.

Installing and using the 3.2 pre-release did the trick (at least on a laptop with Big Sur, haven't checked other use cases)! Didn't run into any of the zoom/keyboard shortcut issues that popped up in 3.0.

Hi @danschlet - To address the zoom issue, just wondering when you may port back the fixes to 3.1 and have it for download / release please?

3.1 will be released in January. Happy new year until then...

@danschlet - Hi , It was reported to me today that the keyboard shortcuts for zoom work on MAC OS Monterey v12. It wasn't working for me and I was on Mac OS Sierra v10.13. So some differences there between OS versions.
