  Hey guys! I have another student who is having problems with holding color in a variable - it's saying the error is in line one, but I only see her using color within the correct functions. Help?

This is her project: https://alpha.editor.p5js.org/Soupykay666/sketches/Hyv4IiKgz

Thank you!

On a side note, I still have several students who are made to reset their password every time they log in. Can resubmit usernames if needed.

Thank you!

Hey Cassie, This has been a reoccurring issue that will pop up pretty randomly when students are coding - the first time it happened, I had just modeled an example that ran (and continued to run) fine on my computer at the front of the class, but gave a similar error (issue in line 1 with 'color') on a student computer who had just opened the link I sent. I'm not sure about recreating it beyond that as it happens so intermittently. In the past I've had the students clear their cache to see if it fixes it, and it does sometimes, but not others.

Hey Cassie, As an update on this, my student is still having the same problem and it seems to be tied to her account. Today she encountered the same issue (screenshotted and attached) and we tried clearing her history/cache and nothing changed. She got a different computer and had the same issue. As soon as I logged her out and visited her project link, it ran fine. It also still runs correctly on my computer when I am logged in. Please help, we are doing a project with a lot of color and I don't want to have to make her create separate variables to hold each HSB value for every shade she wants to create! Thank you, CM [image: Inline image 1] On Fri, Dec 1, 2017 at 12:11 PM, Courtney Morgan <cmorgan@tywlsbronx.org> wrote:

@catarak - I feel like this is an issue with the accessibility.
@cmorgantywls - Would it be possible to check if the student has any accessibility features turned on in preferences?

I can check tomorrow when she's back - I don't think she has turned anything on unless it was by accident, as we haven't talked about any of those settings as a class.

@MathuraMG maybe that is it! i will try turning on the accessibility features and see if i can reproduce. EDIT: this appears to be the cause! when i turn on table-text or plain-text i see this error.
