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.
