Touchpad scrolling does not work on Windows

It would be helpful to be able to scroll with the touch pad (two finger scroll).

Stupid question, but: Does scrolling on Windows using the touch pad consistently not work?

I would wonder a little bit about this, because OpenTodoList is built upon the Qt framework (which is a cross platform toolkit abstracting nicely away the different OSes, so I don't have to do myself). User input - such as scrolling - is included there.

Now, I have to admit, I am not a regular Windows user (in fact, I don't even have a single device running it natively, so my ways to test this are currently limited), but from my work (where we also use Qt a lot) I know that touchpad scrolling in Qt based apps is working in general.

So to shed some more light on this:

  • Is the scrolling impossible using the touchpad everywhere in the app or only in specific views?
  • Does it work at least sometimes?
  • Maybe you could also try to restart the app (on Windows, right-click the tray icon and select the option to quit the app from there, then start it again.

I know that at least in some pages (I think at least the schedule page is sometimes affected) scrolling stops to work - usually, either changing to another view or restarting the app helps. Unfortunately, I didn't yet found a cause for this behaviour.

Or course, if scrolling consistently doesn't work on your side, it might be completely unrelated to this observation. In this case, do you have the chance to test on another Windows device (just to rule out any kind of driver issues or whatsoever)?
