two-finger scrolling not working in Firefox
Two finger scrolling only works immediately after setting up the server and client and opening Firefox. As soon as I switch tabs, two-finger scrolling doesn't work anymore.
I tried this today and could not reproduce it.
- Ubuntu-22.04
- remote-touchpad 1.2.1
- Mozilla Firefox 102.0.1
This seems safe to close.
I've also reproduced this on occasion.
Few observations:
- It can occur after entering and exiting a video in full-screen.
- I've found that it can impact some sites more than others. For example, I'm always able to scroll on https://www.netflix.com/browse but I can navigate back to a problematic webpage and break it again in the session
- Restarting Firefox on the desktop will allow you to scroll until you hit the issue again
- You can sometimes coax it into working again from the webclient side by starting a single finger scroll and introducing another finger half way (I'm aware of how weird this sounds)
Please let us know if there are any logs we can provide
Server: Fedora 39 (remote-touchpad 1.4.3 + Firefox 121.0.1) Client: Pixel 7, Android 14, Firefox
The problem only seems to affect Firefox in combination with the remote desktop portal. I can't reproduce the issue with X11, uinput or other web browsers. It only happens on a few websites.
@Vikingtons Scrolling once on the page with a mouse/touchpad connected to the computer also fixes it until reloading the page.
I don't think this is our bug.
I wonder what the affected sites might have in common. Perhaps I could create a filter via ublock origin on the desktop.
Could just be a random portal quirk I suppose.
