Variable number of questions when using categories, limit and random functions

Hello everybody and to the development team,

First, I would like to say that I love the QSM plugin. My thanks to the development team. I observed the following technical issue:

Let’s say I create a quiz with 50 questions and 4 categories as below: Category 1: 7 questions. Limit: 3 questions. Category 2: 6 questions. Limit: 3 questions. Category 3: 28 questions. Limit: 21 questions. Category 4: 9 questions. Limit: 3 questions. Total in bank: 50 questions.

If I choose to limit the questions in categories 1, 2, and 4 to three questions and category 3 to 21 questions, I expect to obtain a quiz with 30 questions. However, because the random question function is enabled, the result is a variable number of questions in the quiz. This technical problem should be checked and solved.

My personal opinion and best guess are that the random function is not applied to categories first, producing a variable number of questions in the quiz despite the fact that the limit for the quiz is set to 30 questions.

Let me know if this is a real technical issue in the plugin.

Best regards, César
