Essay question text box not available to a student

A student of mine just took a test in which the essay-type questions didn't make a text box available. The multiple choice questions worked fine, but she couldn't enter anything for the questions that required written answers. No other students had this problem. She (and all of the other students) were using Honorlock. There were also some problems with this student's Honorlock session, but I don't see how that would be related.

The attached screenshot shows a question that should have had an essay text box.

The student was using Chrome on a PC. Thanks for any help.

@GRE6 -

I am not sure if anyone knows the answer to your question; however, it has been shown that for whatever reason doing what @greydon suggested makes abnormal occurrences go away.  I have never experienced something that would require the clearing of all the data, but that is because I clean all of that everytime I close a browser completely.
