Getting stuck testing drinks

When I try and carry out the test for the hydration research I get as far as the tester telling me to try the 1st drink and all I can do is look around. I cant get up or move from the chair, I cant select anything, only way to get out is bring up the menu and quit. This happened when I fist tried on my old PC, but I thought it was the brick's fault as it couldn't even do lock picking minigames. But now it happens on my newer machine too, so on diverse systems and versions.
 
Just aim the center of your camera at a Nuka Cola and press activate. It won't highlight, but it will still work.
 
Thanks Kinggath, yep that works. With no target it took a few tries to hit the target and really wasn't obvious that's what I needed to do. Just seemed like the controls had frozen.
I really like the repurposing of the vanilla player lines :)
 
I had a similar but probably unrelated problem with this quest. The researcher stepped too far away before it managed to really get started, and the dialogue interface didn't appear. I was able to drink the Nuka Cola, but nothing past that occurred. Loaded from a prior save and it worked fine.
