Right flyout appears briefly

We've noticed that the right flyout for adding media, documents, images etc. appears very briefly on first click > then disappears. Like a flash. We have to click the option twice to see the flyout menu. Every time. All of us in my shop are seeing it. Across every course and every browser.

How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Request for improvement
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."
