Remote Desktop Client for MacOS -- scrolling in apps with a scroll per line is not smooth and hard
How to reproduce:
- Connect to your Windows (10\11) from MacOS RDP Client
- Open Visual Studio 2019 with some source file
- Try scroll source code file up and down with macbook trackpad
Actual Result:
- Small and medium finger speed on trackpad does not start scrolling at all
- Hard push finger speed scroll a lot of lines of source file up\down, so it hard to scroll to specific code line
Expected Result:
- Please make the trackpad scrolling experience via macos RDP client just the same as without RDP (native) for line-based scrolling UI applications (Like VS2019)

Bump.
This is a necessary feature that other remote apps support. - NdyominCopper Contributor
This is unacceptable, I can't use scroll on the trackpad at all, I have to drag the scrollbar like it's 2002. No hacks or tweaks in settings on both sides (Macbook/Remote PC) work. How is this even possible? This is a product for mac, apples trackpad is not some rare edge case. Do MS developers not have a budget for a trackpad and only work with a mouse?

Absolutely. We need to force lazy MS developers to do their job

The same issue happens in other apps, such as using a browser over remote desktop.
Scenario:
Macbook connected to windows 10 server via Microsoft remote desktop.
Open a webpage in Chrome.
Steps to reproduce:
Use a large gesture on the macbook touchpad to cause a large scroll distance of the webpage in Chrome.
Expected outcome:
The webpage scrolls a large distance.
Actual outcome:
The webpage scrolls one line only.

Well... So why it works perfectly smooth with Windows Precision trackpads ?
I think precision driver has some nice and tricky code to detect if it should do something to smooth line scroll logic in odd application... Maybe it can be implemented in similar way on Windows side to handle smoothly such things... Just thoughts
