Speed Grader File Editor broken

[lawrencebr]

For the past couple of weeks speed grader has been broken for me. It used to show the contents of the file (.py files were treated like plain text files) and allowed me to highlight and add comments. I used this feature extensively to give feedback to my students. But now it is not working.

Did something change, and can we get that functionality back?

There are already a couple of other forum entries on this matter.   Yes it changed with the latest update.  in the thread below, the response from Canvas on the reported problem is not good.

Thank you for the post.  I confirmed that I can now see the .cpp files that I previously could not.
