Hello, I was wondering if anyone else experiences being kicked out of assessment if you try to delete some comments on part of code.

This was OA2 and it did the same thing to me as in OA1, I want to remove some code inline, press DELETE key, it starts deleting, but then kicks you out. My mouse is active in the editor, not on the problem, but for some reason, it does take it as a Back button. One time I was deleting slowly, the window appeared saying "Are you sure you want to leave this page?"

Then you have to wait 2 min to log back in.

Did anybody face the same issue?

Also some key observations on OA:

• review some imports, I got used to leetcode auto import, so wasted some time deleting and rewriting import statements
• use caution during copy/paste - is probably the most annoying thing in the assessment.

I used copy/paste my own code around because initialized some things in the wrong place because I was running out of time and code was not compiling in the second problem. It has been 2 days since I submitted OA2, and have not received OA3, so maybe my copy/paste was marked as plagiarism, who knows
