It is probably not a glitch or bug. But rather has to do with the fact that there are multiple intervals inside the chord. The question is about the third heard from the root note of the chord, as in "the third of the chord"
For instance:
If you hear a C major triad, the notes C - E - G.
Then C to E is a major third (and the correct answer to this question)
But E to G is definitely a minor third, just as C to G is a perfect fifth.
So either you are not hearing the interval correctly because you're not hearing it from the root of the chord. And/or you are confused about the question itself, which asks about the third in the chord (which refers to the third from the root note).
Hope it helps! Ask away if you need more info.
