Having the same issue. Unusually enough it works on the default home page. But it doesn’t work on any other site.

Brave 1.74.48, Chromium 132.0.6834.83
OS Android 14; Build/UP1A.231005.007

Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, SM-X920, S9 book cover keyboard.

For starters, I would try one or two Force Restarts of your Samsung Galaxie.

I have the same issue after last update. Galaxy tab S9. Both Dex and normal mode. Trackpad scrolling is not working :frowning:

A force restart and detaching and reattaching the keyboard doesn’t solve the problem. Problem also seems to appear in chrome. All other apps I use function normally.

Things I’ve tried and it still doesn’t work. I may have tried more combos.
-Detach/reattach
-Forced stop
-Restart device
-Force stop, detach/reattach
-Force stop, detach/reattach, restart
-Uninstall/Reinstall, detach/reattach, force stop, restart

Nice catch. I just checked my Chrome and Edge browsers.
My Chrome is not up to date with Chromium and two finger scrolling works.
Edge is updated to the current Chromium and two finger scolling doesn’t work.

So it seems it’s a chromium issue?

Yeah, seems like it.

So the only option is to wait for next update of chromium and hope for the best?

I suppose we can complain on whatever platform Chromium coders will see the complaints.

I wonder where would that be… Isn’t it Google who develops chromium?

I’ve got the same issue. Trackpad scrolling dosn’t work normally when on sites, but fine in the browser’s settings. I saw someone on another thread mention that scrolling with their fingers further apart worked, and that did for me as well. Basically just use my index and ring finger to scroll, which isn’t great but at least a workaround until this is hopefully fixed.

I added info to a previous similar bug report (jan 24) on the chromium issue website.

Indeed it works if you scroll with the two fingers far apart, like on either side of the trackpad!

Scrolling is not working in Chrome on Android device

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/391788831

This work around works on all sites that I’ve tried except YouTube

Same issue with the Galaxy Tab S9: after the latest update, neither Brave nor Chrome work with the smart case’s trackpad.
