Hi  
I am using Collabora on an iPad with an external monitor and mouse.  
I am using the developer beta of iPad OS 26  
So far, I think the product is awesome by the way !!  
Mouse scrolling does not appear to work either on the iPad screen or the external monitor. Touch scrolling (with finger) does. Not too much of an issue with documents because a scroll bar appears at the right edge which can be used with the mouse. However with a spreadsheet, the scroll bars are incredibly narrow on the external display and difficult to use. Full mouse support would be awesome particularly as I suspect a lot of users will be connecting their iPads to external displays now that the OS is improving.

Who do we have to bribe to get multitouch gestures (like two finger scrolling) to work with touchpads on Collabora Office on iOS?

I just created a new topic asking about this exact bug, and seeing your post from last year remain unresolved doesn’t give me much hope 😕 here’s hoping some additional activity on this topic will bring some attention? I don’t know how deeply the developers look at these forums, and how often they’re deploying updates.

Hi @stan_stackton,

I think the issue you’re experiencing with scrolling on the iPad might be related to this one:
