Users running Citrix Workspace App for Mac experience issues where multi-touch trackpad features (such as two-finger scrolling, secondary clicks, or native touch gestures) fail to operate or feel limited inside a remote published desktop or application session.

Clarification:

Citrix Workspace App for Mac natively supports standard multi-touch trackpad features—including two-finger scrolling and secondary right-clicks—though local gesture conflicts or misconfigured client preferences can disrupt touchpad input translation.

Solution

To resolve multi-touch trackpad and gesture issues in Citrix Workspace App for Mac, verify your local macOS preferences and update the Workspace client software.
