Window Scrolling in POBITS
This topic is highly relevant to users on Macintosh computers.
On most Macintosh computer, use the trackpad for scrolling the home screen since scroll bars may not appear.
POBITS is a web application, and everything presented on the screen comes from a UI library called Kendo. The Kendo library is designed to conform to standard user behaviors but must also accommodate the kind of user experience one would encounter in a desktop application with buttons, fields, and other screen controls. The arrow key behaves differently depending on focus. Focus is the concept that when the user presses the Tab key, screen focus advances from control to control allowing for maximum use of the keyboard for navigation. For example, if your cursor is in a text entry field, the Tab key will insert a tab into the text rather than advancing focus. So, keyboard behavior is dependent on focus. The welcome screen in POBITS has no screen controls so the internal screen never gets focus, and the arrow keys have no default actions leaving them with nothing to do. This is by design since there must be some standards to which the keyboard actions conform. In most cases, you can and should use the track pad to scroll the screen.
