There' s glitch in a question; keeps marking me wrong

The question: "I'll stay until you come back."

Answer: "Je resterai jusqu'à ce que tu reviennes."

I have given the correct answer 4 consecutive times but my answer is always recorded as: "Je resterai jusqu'à tu reviennes." This is NOT what I'm typing, but the answer repeated tells me that that's what I wrote and thus the question is repeated on every test!

this lesson does not advise when one would use either faire or être

Bonjour. I read the lesson. The lesson does not seem to advise when it is appropriate or better to use être or faire. Does it absolutely not matter? Or are there situations where être may be better to use than faire, or vice versa? Merci.

"De" article only in "nombreux"?

So I got a little confused: Why is there no "de" before "quelques", "plusieurs" etc? Why doesn't the rule of "de" before adjectives that precede nouns apply here?

Can 'où' mean anything other than 'when' and 'where'?

''Je crois que le modèle que nous imaginions, où les gens travaillaient de chez eux, s'est concrétisé.''

For example, in the sentence above, 'où' does not mean 'when' or 'where'; rather, it is used to describe the 'modèle', which is not a time or place. Why is the use of 'où' still correct?

Thank you.

Que and inversion with people

I am a bit confused about when an extra pronoun comes in to inverted question forms. I thought that "What does Paul want?" would be "Que Paul veut-il?". Similarly with "What are the children drawing?", I was expecting "Que les enfants dessinent-ils?
