Customizer scroll bar difficult to use with touch pad?

    I do not know if anyone else is having this problem but I cannot get the scroll bar to let me select it in the customizer (OceanWP theme but I do not think that is related). It is really thin and hard to control. Usually to scroll down I have to select text but some menu choices do not have that capability.

    Suggestions (besides attaching a mouse)?

    Yes, it is hard to accurately select, but you shouldn’t need to. You generally can drag anywhere in the active area. It’s not necessary to use the scroll bar. It’s there mainly as a visual indicator of where you are in the active area more than as something to interact with.

    Dragging a very long area can be tedious to get to the bottom, but you should be able to “throw” the area to invoke an inertial factor in the scroll function where one very fast swipe with “follow through” will cause the scroll to keep going well after your finger leaves the surface. Tap again to “catch” the scroll at a particular spot.

    I am trying to get to the selections at the bottom and dragging is not working well with the touch pad. I know. I should just attach a mouse but that limits my laptop portability and makes me move my hands (yes I am an old-time DOS throw-back who types rather than uses the mouse as much as I can).

    Thank you.

    Example: One minute video of me trying to scroll down using touchpad in the Customizer to change Typography settings. I think the setting for hyperlink color is here but I can’t scroll down to check ??
