Putting trials with different correct response on the same line

Even in the log file it doesn't register incorrect responses for trial 1. I've run the test file a couple times through, making sure to give incorrect response for all four responses, and on the log file, only 2.01 and 2.02 are listed as incorrect. In addition, I have the program set up so that in the actual experiment, when an incorrect responses is given, directRT displays a red 'X' and won't continue on until the participant gives the correct answer. This works fine for trial line 2, but doesn't show up when incorrect responses are given for the trial line 1 responses, and the program advances on to the next trial even when the incorrect response is given, instead of waiting for the correct response. Is there a way to fix this?

After a bit more investigation it would seem as though this may indeed be the result of a small bug.
If you have any variance from the first 'Correct' setup, DirectRT doesn't seem to want to cooperate with the next RT's that require a correct and incorrect identity.

The solution to this seems to be to either use a different trial for the screen being presented, or have the same incorrect / correct keys as the screen before it. (Ie. both have 18,23 - rather than one having 23,18 and the other having 18,23)

It is quite unfortunate that this bug exists - thank you for bringing it to our attention.
