Unable to scroll while mirroring iPhone on my MacBook Pro 13

The app connects, but I can’t scroll left or right, up or down. I don’t have a touch screen on my mac and I use external mouse with the buttons switched. I don’t know if it matters.

Sidecar cursor stuck on iPad as second screen M2 Mac Mini and M1 iPad Pro both running the most current OS's (Ventura and 17). Both recently rebooted and already cycled both handoff and sidecar in settings. This problem pre-existed the current OS's. When using the ipad as the second screen, if I move the cursor from the Mac to the iPad I cannot get the cursor back to the Mac unless I lock the iPad. It doesn't seem to be a conflict between handoff and sidecar. If this is just another buggy feature of MacOS, I'll keep handoff as more valuable and buy another display. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? The cursor is not lost as with earlier posts.

iPad used as external screen switches between "Mirror or Extend" and "Link Keyboard and Mouse" I use an iPad as an external screen in Sidecar mode. When it works, it works well, but every now and then, the iPad "flips" to "Link Keyboard and Mouse" mode, without me prompting to do that. Then I have to go to the System Preferences again and change the iPad manually back to "Mirror or Extend" and rearrange all the windows. I have not found out yet what prompts the iPad to go back to "Link Keyboard and Mouse" mode. It happens seemingly randomly. I have the latest OS versions on all devices, the iPad is a large iPad Pro first version (but it also happens with my iPad Pro 2) Thanks!

Screen Mirroring freezes from MacBook Pro to iPad Pro I have a newer MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020 with current update of Monterey 12.5.1) and an iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 5th generation with current update of 15.6.1). I often use the iPad as a second screen while at school but recently, the screen mirroring freezes. I am still able to use the iPad normally and the only way I have found to correct the issue is disconnecting and then reconnecting the screen share. That solution is really only a bandaid as it lasts for just a few minutes before freezing again. Is there a fix for this issue? Thank you in advance!
