iPadOS 17 Scrolling Direction Wrong with Trackpad on Desktop

Since upgrading to iPadOS 17 the scrolling direction is wrong when using the track pad on my Logitech Combo Touch. Yeah I know it’s not an Apple Keyboard but it’s been working fine for the last 3 years until this upgrade.

Scrolling works correctly in apps. But when I try to scroll on the desktop, scrolling up actually makes the screen scroll left and scrolling down makes the screen scroll right. When I close an app, I need to swipe right and not up.

Anyone else experience this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

I solved the problem. It had something to do with screen rotation. I disconnected the keyboard, rotated the screen to portrait mode, then rotated back to landscape and swiping now works properly.

Thank you so much for this, I thought I was going crazy.

Turned off rotation lock, rotated to portrait and back to landscape.

Issue fixed.

Strangely only the two finger scroll gesture was broken for me. Three finger gestures worked as expected.
