HI everyone I had a question regarding coding challenges on my mac.

For some reason I cannot select the text in the code space unless i scroll all the way to the top of the page. If i scroll even halfway down the page the cursor is still pointed and will not let me select anything in the code space.

Anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this.

Where are you doing this at? In workspaces? is there a specific place you can point me to where I can try to recreate the issue?

Also what browser are you using?

no not work space its in the code challenges between videos. Im on chrome on mac

Well I tried to recreate it but could not. I am not having any issue selecting any of the code regardless of where I am at on the page.

You might try reaching out to support at help@teamtreehouse.com to see if they have ran into this. You might even get a badge for discovering a new bug!

Good luck!

also ive noticed it only happens when im in split screen mode. that might be where the bug occurs

I think you might be on to something there!

Hey Farhan,

I am actually aware of this bug and have sent support an email about it, one of the workarounds I found was to zoom out your page (Cmd [+] + or -) and set it to 100% zoom (also can be done by pressing Cmd+0) - If you're already on 100% zoom, try setting it to 90% or lower to see if there is any effect.

Let me know if that works for you.

Way to kill his chances at the bug squasher badge Michael Afanasiev ;D

j/k thanks for the update on that!

Yeah I finally got the something once he told me it was split screen!

Michael Afanasiev you're pretty good at this! you should be a Moderator! ;)

no not kidding at all! I really couldn't replicate the issue until he told me about the split screen :D

From merriam-webster

sarcasm noun sar·casm \ˈsär-ˌka-zəm\ Simple Definition of sarcasm : the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny

Was going for that last part ;)
