Known Issue: Vertical Scroll Bar in the Grade Center is Missing or too Small to Use

If the vertical scroll bar in the course's full Grade Center is either missing, or so small that it's unusable, please try:

1. Shrink your browser window.

2. Increase the size by expanding the right side until the scroll bar is visible again.

A fix is targeted for a future release, but no timeline has been identified.
