Problem adjusting sliders on Lightroom Android on Chromebook

Using Lightroom Android on Asus C302 Flip Chromebook.  I have a subscription and all of my photos and albums sync fine - no issues.  The most annoying issue, however, (besides not being able to save/open adj brush presets, common to LRCC) is that I cannot move adjustment sliders on edit with the mouse.  At least not easily.  

 

I assumed that I could left-click and drag the center ball on say Exposure or Clarity and drag the setting to the left or right.  Not so much.  I tried double-clicking on the text to enter directly.  No good.  The only way I can move an edit slider is to single click on the slider line to the left or right of the 'ball'.  This moves the slider glacially in the desired direction.  If I become impatient (I do) and click too fast, the app reads it as a double click and resets the setting to the center.

 

Does anyone else have this problem?  Am I missing an obvious setting?  I have searched for a keyboard shortcut that might let me move the slider, but have come up empty.  Is there a set of keystroke combinations that move the sliders? Needless to say, I try to do all my editing on my Windows desktop (where things work), but I occasionally find myself on the Chromebook.

Yes I'm having this same exact problem. Makes the app unusable. Also cropping is near impossible since sizing the crop area does not work by using your two fingers.  Very disappointing since I pay for the Adobe monthly subscription.  It's not fixed with an update I'll be dropping my subscription.

Until Adobe gets around to fixing it properly, the workaround I found is to 'tap' on the slider bar at the end in the direction I want it to go, rather than sliding.

I have exactly the same problem on my Samsung A202F/DS Android Phone.  It really does make what should be a really useful program totally unusable on my phone.

Similar problem on a Google pixel 8. The sliders are difficult to move. Lr Is the only app where this sensitivity problem is evident.

We are not able to replicate this in our testing lab on multiple Chromebooks.

I'm not sure about Chromebooks since I don't have one. I'm having the exact described problem with my Google pixel 7 pro.

I can confirm it. I am having the same issue. Would be great if it can be fixed. It is really annoying. Workaround is doing it using the touch display.
