    Unless I am missing something, you are not able to scroll in most applications using Parallels mobile. You must try to position the cursor over where the scrolling bar is (in Lion), which is very difficult. Is there another method to scroll in Lion applications? I have tried two-finger scrolling but it doesn't seem to work.

    I second this one. I would love the ability to control my Mac from afar but with scrolling in its current state, it is pretty much unuseable. I hope a more robust scrolling system is implemented for a future update of Parallels Mobile, as even scrolling in the Windows VM is slower than it should be.

    scrolling is supposed to be accomplished with two fingers. the documentation says that the application must have scrollbars visible - however i have not been able to get it to actually work - it ends up just trying to pan the screen.

    Same issue here. Unable to scroll with two fingers within the iPad app. This is when I'm trying to control my actual Mac with Lion installed. I love this new feature but no scrolling is a big pain with Lion which has visible scroll bars turned off by default.

    I'm testing the software out and the ability to control your Mac remotely for a flat cost is worth the upgrade to me but this is a big set back for usability.

    The scrolling feature does not exist for OSX -- host or VM. The Parallels Mobile documentation/PDF declares it -- though the app help screen does not.

    There is no question that this is 'broken', to say the least. It's a Mac product without scroll functionality for native Mac OS... I cannot recommend this product until it is resolved.
