Saving feedback is updating all students grades

[crystalvaughn]

When a journal has multiple entries made by students. If a teacher grades one student journal it updates the other students grades to 0 in the gradebook. Previously the teacher was able to grade one student and saving the feed back would only update the one student.

Steps to recreate:

1. Log on a Moodle course
2. Create a journal activity
3. Log in as student1 and enter a journal entry.
4. Log in as student2 and enter a journal entry.
5. Log in as student3 and enter a journal entry.
6. Log in as the teacher in the course and view the journal entries.
7. Add feedback and a score to student1's journal entry.
8. Click the submit all feedback.
9. All the students feedback and grades are updated.

The rating has a default value of null. If no grade is set in the feedback form then the submitted rating is set to -1. A comparison of null and -1 then sets the logic to upgrade the entry.

I propose changing the rating default to -1. I will provide a fix if this an acceptable solution for the dev team?
