Summary0009553: Mouse scrolling does not work in XRDP
Description

I use kali in Hyper-V, in enhanced session mode this means I am using XRDP to connect. With the update to xrdp v0.9.27 scrolling with the mouse wheel broke. If I downgrade to xrdp 0.9.24-5, mouse scrolling works again. I am not sure if this is an XRDP problem or problem in another dependency.

I created one: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/3735

I believe that the problem might be that xorgxrdp is outdated in kali. But not sure.

xrdp has been updated to 0.9.27-0kali1 but didnt fix the issue.
xorgxrdp is still at 1:0.10.2+really0.9.19-0kali1

I think xorgxrdp needs an update as well

Yes both xrdp and xorgxrdp should get an update, however these are packages that we get from Debian, and it's a bit complicated.

The version in Debian testing (Kali is based from testing) has known issues, that's why we had to revert to older versions 0.9.x in Kali.

Then newer version have been sitting in Debian experimental for a while, however these versions are still work in progress, I tried it 2 weeks ago, and the packages are broken.

I hope I can find some time to work on that for the next Kali release cycle (ie. after 2026.1 is out), and possibly ship newer versions in Kali, cause we can't wait on Debian forever. I'll do my best but can't promise anything.
