Trackpad scroll doens't work in vscode.dev

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No Yes

VS Code Version: 1.72.2
OS Version: ipadOS 16.1

Steps to Reproduce:

Open any repository in vscode.dev
Try to use the trackpad of the magic keyboard

I have an Ipad Air 5th generation and I am using it with a magic keyboard, I am currently using the beta of IpadOS 16.1. When I try to visualize any code in .dev mode the trackpad doens’t work. I am using Safari, other browsers don’t work as I want. If I add the vscode.dev project to my home screen the scroll works, but only when I open the files from the side bar. Is this a problem of the IpadOS version? I found some issues where they said they solved it in IpadOS 14.5.

I don’t think this is a dupe of a two-year-old issue. I’ve rolled up here today to +1 this issue.

Just updated to iPad OS 16.1 today on the full public release. I’m utilizing vscode via the code-server project.

I’ve found that if Settings -> General -> Keyboards -> Shortcuts is turned ON, two-finger scroll on the magic keyboard trackpad works.

If that’s turned OFF - as I had been doing since it gets rid of the little keyboard drawer that pushes all the content up when you’re in a text entry context - then the two-finger trackpad scroll stops working. I’ve found this to be the case whether using my vscode instance in the safari browser, or through the full-screened homepage shortcut context.

This wasn’t previously the case - on iPad OS v15.x I could have the Shortcuts setting set to OFF and the two-finger scroll worked.

Want to call out a comment above: workaround for me at least was to enable shortcuts in settings -> general -> keyboards. Scrolling worked immediately. Just annoying because it forces a keyboard UI element on many text inputs. Its definitely less than ideal so hopefully it can get fixed

You can also use stage manager. If you full screen with stage manager it has the similar white empty space as shortcuts so I wonder if there is some shared code path there. Oh well, stage manager workaround is not the worst thing right now.
