Chromebooks incapable of drawing circles using Alt+Drag

Just like the title says. On multiple chromebooks. Cannot draw circles. I can draw circles from my windows PC using Chrome browser. I can even do this by remote desktop-ing to my windows PC and using the ALT+Drag from my chromebook to send input to my windows PC and it STILL works. Attempting to do so directly from my Chrome OS devices does not work. Pretty annoying and I've taken to just manually drawing each circle in turn. Wanted to pass it on the Devs just in case any other issues like this arise. Can't do anything if they don't know. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with the site. Could you please carefully work through the first three steps of our guide to Solving Technical Issues ? Step 1: Make sure to use the right browser Please check if these issues persist when using both Chrome and Firefox. Step 2: Ensure that there are no extensions/addons interfering with Roll20 Please disable all add-ons/extensions and anti-virus programs. Step 3: Clear your cache If none of the above succeeds, please thoroughly work through Step 4 . (Don't forget the complete Console Log!) Thank you!
Chrome OS computers do not support other browsers. It works just fine in Chrome OS on my windows PC however. I have the same addons on all of my devices But just for giggles I disabled them anyway. It did not solve the issue. I hadn't thought of clearing my cache. Also did not solve the problem I will have to continue step four tomorrow after class. Thank you for getting back to me.

I can verify this situation on my own Chromebook. There are many key combinations that are hardwired into the OS. Great for stability, terrible for flexibility. I don't think there's a workaround.

Keith and Ian, are you working with the trackpad or a mouse? Alt drag with a mouse should work as expected on a Chromebook.
Trackpad I'm afraid.

I'll create a ticket to see if we can figure out an alternative key command. Have there been any other Chromebook conflicts that you've found in regards to Roll20. If so, I'll add them to the ticket.
