@kai4avaya Great work on SocratiQ, I will be testing it with my High School class now and in the new semester starting in February 2025 I may have my robotics class do the whole book.

I encountered an issue that took a bit of time to diagnose. The SocratiQ questions worked fine on my desktop and cell phone, but I remembered the problem occurred at school when using my laptop without a mouse. Using the touchpad, the SocratiQ window became very frustrating. While I could select an answer, scrolling down required selecting all the text. Adding a vertical scroll bar to the SocratiQ window would solve this problem. Now that I know it's only an issue with non-moused laptops, I can create a workaround. I thought you should know.

You can close this issue or mark it for future enhancement.

Great catch. Adding a scrollbar for more accessibility

Actually @kai4avaya I don't often use my laptop without a mouse, my kid showed me the two finger scroll which does also solve the problem.
