Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 29, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Why does selecting text near the top of the screen scroll up in this UI?

Find a big post like https://www.themotte.org/post/216/meta-something-shiny-and-two-things, scroll down a bit, and then try to select a sentence within an inch of the screen-top.

It's whenever a text-dragging mouse gets close to the top, regardless of where the original text is located.

I figure it's supposed to let you select those large posts more easily, but it seems a bit overtuned. The margin for activating scroll downwards is much tighter--something like the bottom 1/8 inch.

That was happening to me too, I thought it was something wrong with my browser
