Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac Beta - shift+scroll(Mouse) doesn't work

When connecting to a Windows or Centos Server, the horizontal scroll operation using mouse wheel can't be recognized correctly. For example, when pressing and holding the "shift" key, scroll up and scroll down operations are both recognized as scroll down operation.

    Same here, while using the silicon-based Mac. I wonder if Microsoft, as the vendor, would respond to these kinds of annoying bugs, given that they are widely used

    I suffer from the same problem and cannot scroll left in Visual Studio 😞

    The issue has been consistent across MANY versions of Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS now (installed via App Store), affecting at least USB-connected mice with a scroll wheel.

     

    This has adverse effect on usability of many apps that map horizontal scrolling (of text, image, map, etc) to Shift+Wheel.

     

    The same issue manifests when I use additional keyboard modifiers with Shift. E.g. when I use Ctrl+Shift+WheelUp to increase console window opacity, it decreases as if with Ctrl+Shift+WheelDown.
