Can't scroll through sprites on chrome browser in chromebook

Hi there, my daughter has a chromebook for school, and I'm trying to show her stuff on scratch…. it works fine except there is no scroll bar for the sprites, so if you have however many sprites you can't scroll down to select the bottom ones.

There seems to be a scroll bar for the code section, and there's a little black bar which looks like a scroll bar shows up when you mouse over the sprites section but it disappears and you can not click on it.

Only way to select the different sprites then is to find them and click on them on screen…. not really ideal!

it's probably a bottom tier chromebook, and does not have a touch screen.
I use chrome on my computer (windows 10) and it works fine so I figure it's a bug with scratch in the chrome browser on android operating system?
Does anybody have a solution?

thanks

it looks like there's a scroll bar there because when I increase or decrease the size (by pressing ctrl + or ctrl -) a scroll bar shows up. It just dissapear's and you ca'nt select it with the mouse.

It looks like it's probably designed for touch screens…… which this chromebook doesn't have

Is it enabled in settings to go to settings and search “scroll bar” then enable it (it is on my school Chromebook but right now I'm on windows so it might not be in your version a workaround for touchpad scroll with two fingers)

That can work if there is a hardware mouse but not the trackpad.

Hover over the sprites, then take 2 fingers and go up or down with them.
