Why is my iPad swiping pages when I use the gesture on my iMac trackpad when using sidecar?

I want my iPad to stay stationary when I am swiping full screens on my desktop. Can I turn this off so only my desktop swipes screens when using sidecar? This did not happen when using Catalina. Only when I updated to Big Sur OS.

Why does swipe not work on iPad in sidecar mode? I am trying to use my iPad (7th generation, OS13.4) as a 2nd display for my MacBook Air (OS10.15.7) via sidecar. It sort of works but is sometimes buggy (frozen screen on the iPad). The biggest issue is that I cannot scroll a document I open in "Preview" on the iPad except through the Air trackpad (very unintuitive). No finger gestures/swipes/... on the iPad seem to do anything at all. I CAN use the Apple Pencil to click on tools etc., but it is impossible to scroll with that in a controlled way (very jerky motion if I try to drag in the sidebar). It would help if I could display a full page of the document, and then just use the page-up/down buttons. But, alas, "sidecar" only allows landscape orientation (although, being buggy, it "accidentally" got frozen in portrait mode once.) Overall, I'm unimpressed - this could be a truly useful feature if Apple had put a bit more effort into making it user friendly.

How can I scroll between homepages on iPadOS 13.4 I recently updated to iPadOS 13.4, and was excited to try out the mouse support, but I can’t seem to figure out how to scroll between homepages, except for touching the screen. Is there any way to go to the next homepage without touching the screen and only using the mouse? Any help would be appreciated.
