Mobile Interaction Problems on Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet
I have a course that I designed with several slider interactions. The interactions work fine on a desktop/laptop PC, and it works perfectly on I-phones and I-Pads. I have some users who are using Microsoft Surface Pro Tablets and they cannot get the slider interactions to work. I have made sure that there are using the device in tablet mode (and tried laptop mode) but still no success.
Has anyone had any issues with MS Surface devices? Any thoughts?

Hi John!
I see that you are currently working with one of our Support Engineer’s, Ronaziel. You’re in great hands. We’ll continue the conversation in your support case.
Thanks!
John, did you find an answer to the issues on the Microsoft Surface? We are also getting reports of problems with sliders and dials in Surface testing. The same interactions work great on laptop, iOS, and Android.
Hi, Jay!
Thanks for reaching out here. I took a look at John's case and saw that him and Rona identified it as a possible bug where the drag and drop or slider interactions aren't behaving as expected when using a touchscreen device. This has been reported to our team and they'll investigate as a next step.
As soon as we have additional information to share, we'll be certain to update this discussion, but at this time I don't have a timeline for when that'll be.
I do see noted, that setting the player to "Lock player at optimal size" allowed for the drag and drops to work as expected. Are you able to give that a try and let us know how it works?
Was there any further information in relation to this? I believe we are experiencing the same issue.
Sorry to hear you're having a similar issue, Stacey!
Could I have you share more clues in a support case? If you could provide more clarification of what your experiencing, this will help us determine if it's specific to your file or related to a possible bug.
As soon as we hear from you, we'll reach out with the next step!
