Inability to use equations effectively in Poll Decks

Our STEM academics who use equations are struggling with the features in EchoPoll
- in a Poll Deck MCQ an equation in the question (Resource, Media) is visible when previewing the MCQ, but not when sharing it with students. (see images)
- the equation is visible as part of the question on a mobile device but not visible on a laptop - unless the Show Media is selected. This is hardly acceptable when an academic is presenting to students. The entire MCQ is not visible on one screen.
- if equations are used as Answer options in the MCQ, they will not be displayed unless a 'non space char' is assigned to that option. The Answer field will accept a space char, but will not display the Answer option when sharing the poll. Values are not always required as Answer options.

Display of mathematical formulas in answers of MCQ - browser mode

When running a poll on the browser mode having a MCQ, some of whose answers include a mathematical formula, we have some problems. If an answer contains a mathematical formula, the field on the right to the formula needs to contain some characters (such as a comma), even if we don't want to include those extra characters.

When running a poll on the browser mode having a MCQ whose question includes a mathematical formula (created by clicking on the rose rectangle "Drag and drop or click..." and then on "Equation"), in the presenter's screen we can either show the mathematical formula (by clicking on "Show media") or the possible answers of the MCQ (by clicking on "Hide media"), but not both. Moreover, the mathematical formula is displayed in a different size as the rest of the text (it is far larger), which is not optimal.
