Scroll bug in universal control

Scroll bug in universal control

Hey, I want to control my macbook by ipad's magic keyboard via universal control.

Everything works fine except scrolling on mac from magic keyboard's touch bar.

When I want to scroll a page on my macbook from the magic keyboard's touch bar, I do a scroll move, but a page moves only to a short distance, I mean fast scrolling of pages doesn't work.

Also other touch bars gestures from magic keyboard's touch bar don't work on macbook via universal control.

Everything works fine in vise-versa. I mean all touch bar gestures from macbook's touch bar work fine in ipad via universal control.

Is there a way to fix these issues?

Apple doesn't seem to agree with you.

This statement is at the top of the Apple Support Document about Universal Control:

Universal Control: Use a single keyboard and mouse between Mac and iPad

Use the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad of your Mac to control up to two other nearby Mac or iPad devices, and work seamlessly between them.

UC was designed to control all devices with a single controller, not only macbook.

I don't think this is a bug. Universal control was designed to use the MacBook keyboard to control other devices nearby. And as you've learned using the MacBook controls to your iPad it works as intended.
