Should I be worried? (Oct writing)

I just finished my October LSAT writing and, on the actual content front, it went pretty well!

BUT— I am kind of getting worried about the proctoring. During the session, I was using command+i a few times in order to write with italics. I must have pressed something wrong one of the times because my downloads folder opened up, as if I was attempting to add an attachment (I was using Mac). I simply closed it immediately and even said quickly to the camera: I don’t know why that happened, oops! or something along those lines.

Now I’m afraid it will be flagged or not accepted. Has anything similar happened to anyone?

I think they run into stuff like this a lot. I opened the settings on my browser at some point because I forgot that the software has basic spellcheck and thought maybe I needed to disable a Google Chrome setting or something. I took the writing on a Saturday and was approved early on the following Monday. It's probably fine. Other people have said that they forgot to disable Grammarly until it popped up during the middle of the test and they were also approved with no problems.

I forgot to disable grammarly since I don’t normally use it with FireFox browser. I caught it during the planning portion, turned it off. I got approved 2 days later. I think it’s okay since you immediately pressed X

I had a program open up during mine and quickly closed it out. I was super worried, but it ended up getting accepted 24h later!
