Corrections for À versus A

There seems to be a little glitch with the answers: For "À chaque fois..." and "À la place..." the corrections mark À as wrong, and say that one should have used "A" with no accent in both cases (though it does go on to say that you 'could' have used "À").

Surely that's not right? Surely this will always be À ? Or am I missing something fundamental that I've never noticed before? I note that in the full text afterwards, "À chaque fois" and "À la place..." are used as I would have expected....

Bonjour Jim,

My colleague has done the exercise, and everything worked as intended for her, so if this recurs, please contact us again.

Merci et bonne journée !

Same thing happened to me, a week after original poster's query and Cécile's response that it was fixed. Just fyi :)
