Magic Mouse successfully connected to iPad Pro but won’t scroll

I’ve just updated my iPad Pro 12.9” (2018) to iPad OS 13.4, which enables mouse and trackpad support. I successfully connected a Magic Mouse, and the pointer, clicking, etc all works as expected. BUT, the mouse won’t scroll for some reason.

I’ve tried with two separate Magic Mouse devices (which both work successfully with a MacBook Pro, so the mice are fully functional) and after unpairing them from my Mac, and then pairing them with iPad Pro, neither can scroll in Safari, Mail, etc.

Is anyone else seeing this? Is there perhaps a bug in this new feature, or a setting I’ve overlooked?

iPad Pro, iOS 13

iPadOS doesn't support scrolling or other gestures with Apple Magic Mouse (1st generation) and Magic Trackpad (1st generation).

Let Apple know. The more people request a feature support, the better chances of Apple addressing it.

Hm, I wonder why it’s not supported but 2nd gen is? Can’t imagine there was SUCH a huge leap in tech underneath, besides the switch from AA batteries to built-in battery with lightning charge...?
