I can't scroll up the iMessage thread on my MacBook Pro. Any way to fix this?

I need to see earlier text messages in an iMessage thread. iMessage has no scroll bar for this, nor does clicking in the thread and using the arrow keys do anything.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

  • Click the Apple menu at the top-left of the screen, then select System Preferences.
  • Next, select the General preferences pane; it’s the very first one, up at the top.
  • Under the “Show scroll bars” heading, you’ll find three options: “Automatically based on input device,” “When scrolling,” and “Always.”
  • Go ahead and select that last “Always” option. You’re done!
