iPadOS trackpad doesn’t scroll #24966
-
|
I’m on my iPad, with the Magic Keyboard, and was hoping to use Codespaces for dev work. But when I try to scroll (with the trackpad) inside an editor window, or any other panel, it won’t move. Scrolling with my fingers works fine. |

I’m having the same “no scrolling support” using regular Mouse Wheel (connected via Bluetooth to my iPad). Is this issue tracking this too, or should I open a new one? |

@alefragnani Are you referring to a scrolling issue on a non-iPadOS device? It’s likely that the scrolling issue is similar in each case, so we can probably track it using this single topic for now 👍 |

@lostintangent no, it’s on an iPad, using a Bluetooth mouse. I updated my previous comment to be more clear. Sorry about that. Thank you |

Going to +1 on this as well. Does not function on both the magic keyboard trackpad, Magic Trackpad and Bluetooth mouse, on any browser. |

Scrolling with the trackpad is fixed with changes in Safari for iOS 14.5. While the ship date of iOS 14.5 is not yet announced, a beta version of iOS 14.5 is available through Apple’s beta program. Keep in mind, via the beta program you cannot just selectively update Safari, but your whole OS to 14.5. I have been running this for a bit and it’s quite nice with the fix (although still a few more things to go, we know) :slight_smile: |

Just FYI, this issue is reoccurring on the VS Code side on iPadOS 16, but seemingly only under specific circumstances (microsoft/vscode#164220). Workarounds with limited success are detailed in the thread for anyone stumbling on this. |

Also experiencing this again. Was able to workaround it with some fiddling for a couple days. But now even after restarting the codespace, safari, and iPad, the scrolling won't work via magic keyboard trackpad OR bluetooth logitech mouse. |

I’m marking this as a solution because it solved the scrolling issue. I noticed you can’t drag to select text, but I’m not bothered by it enough to open a separate thread for now. For those on iPadOS 14.5 Beta and trying to use the feature, it only works when the URL bar is hidden. You’ll either need to scroll a little bit if you’re in Safari, or add your Codespace to the home screen (definitely preferred since you won’t run into any keyboard shortcut conflicts). |

interesting however, if I expand the keyboards shortcut bar, scrolling works, bit annoying as it auto minimise. |

Yeah, it needs to be expanded on 16.3 now. It gets in the way. Mine doesn’t auto-minimise, but I don’t remember there being a setting for it. Such a weird bug… |

Really helped, it is very strange, some days ago, it worked with text bar minimised.(I just remembered it, I did update yesterday the iPadOS to 16.3, now I regret it…) Very strange, hope it is going to be fixed in the next updates. |
