7,998 PointsHI 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.

Python Development Techdegree Student 17,801 PointsWhere 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?

Python Development Techdegree Student 17,801 PointsWell 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!

Courses Plus Student 15,596 PointsHey 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.

Michael Afanasiev
Courses Plus Student 15,596 PointsAre you kidding me? XD
Shawn Denham
Python Development Techdegree Student 17,801 Pointsno not kidding at all! I really couldn't replicate the issue until he told me about the split screen :D
Michael Afanasiev
Courses Plus Student 15,596 PointsI meant about being a Moderator :)

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 ;)
