Ahum, it's not advisable to have a sig-seperator in your post
(--(space)(newline)), as it will automatically trimmed out by correct
newsreaders.

To answer your question: You set $status isn't set when ($question_id !=
$number && $question_count == $number), and $status will be like the last
status from the last loop (hence doubling the selected in this case.

Either start with an uncoditional $status=''; in your loop, or use:
.....
elseif ($question_count <= $number) {
$status = "_blank";
}
.....
