Hi,  
Please see below for details. I am new to PsychoPy and do not understand coding so please bear with me.  
**OS** : macOS Catalina version 10.15.5  
**PsychoPy version** : 2022.1.3

**What are you trying to achieve?:**  
I have included a slider (1-5) for participants to rate facial attractiveness. However PsychoPy will not allow/ register the mouse clicking on the slider, therefore a rating cannot be made and the experiment cannot progress.  
No error message appears at all.

**What did you try to make it work?:**  
I tried changing the style of the slider/rater (e.g. from rating to an actual slider).  
Deleted and reinserted it in builder.

**What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:**  
No error message appears (tried multiple times).  
The slider still does not allow a rating.

Hi, can you try clicking around your slider about how its height to see if it registers the click?

And is your mac a retina screen?

Hi,

Thanks for responding!

Nothing occurs when I click around the slider either, and yes my mac is a retina screen.
