This can happen when a student enrolls in a course (however briefly), and subsequently drops or withdraws. Despite their being listed as a manager in the discussion board, they do not have any access to the course, and they are not listed as a manager if they re-add the course. There is currently no workaround or fix available for this issue.
Problem: While taking an exam, opening a new window/tab in the same browser and creating a new session will break the “Save Answer” button. For example, if a student begins a test, then opens a new tab and goes to myUVM and clicks on the “Blackboard” link, the save answer button will show an error.

If a new session has been created in the same browser, and save answer is not working, deleting the cookies and cache then logging back in will allow for resuming the exam.
