Right click drag on iPad Pro keyboard trackpad not working

Hey there, Installed jump desktop last night and have managed to get workarounds for most things I need a Remote Desktop app for - except for right click drag. I use a lot of apps that require right click dragging for panning within views and panels, but right clicking on an Apple trackpad (I’m actually using a Logitech combo touch which is supposed to work the same way as Apple’s magic keyboards) using a two finger tap locks the cursor in place and the drag is not recognised. Double tapping the screen and dragging when the cursor ripples blue does work, but it is very inconvenient

  It’s not ideal, but a … workaround, I guess, that I’ve found, is two-finger clicking for right-click, then moving one of the fingers before moving the second to drag. Not sure why this works, but it usually does.

  Thanks Justin! I didn't get a notification on your reply, but it's continued to bae an issue so I'm glad I checked the thread again :)

  THIS WORKS! I had to play with my timings a bit, but I get most success by two-finger clicking, waiting a beat, then moving one of the fingers around.

  It's not ideal as you say but not a massive pain either. It does let me do a lot more from my iPad. I did raise this as a support ticket too and they suggested that a two-finger click-drag is not an accepted gesture on an iPad trackpad which may suggest why this workaround is necessary.
  
  Thanks for this!
