Can't scroll while dragging

[somnolentsurfer]

Standard behaviour on macOS is that when clicking and dragging to move something with the trackpad, you can then place two further fingers down and use them to scroll as normal while still dragging the item. In Affinity Publisher this isn't working. When I try to scroll with two fingers on the trackpad while dragging an object, nothing happens.

I got curious.  What if, instead of multi-touch scrolling on the trackpad, you combined click-and-hold/drag on the trackpad with the keyboard shortcut for Document > Next/Previous Page, ie cmd-page down/up?  That's a slightly awkward combination if you're right-handed, but it's do-able.   You appear to still have hold of the original object's outline when you arrive at the destination page (see screenshot).  However, release hold of it and nothing happens - it's actually still back in its original location.  

It looks as if the 'grasp' is released on the first keyboard shortcut.  In which case, appearing to still have hold of it might be considered a bug, whereas the absence of the multitouch trackpad scrolling would be a feature request?

Can you please confirm the trackpad setting that you have enabled.

For me, on a trackpad, it works with dragging only (without additional fingers): If I drag a layout object to an edge of the window and hold it there briefly, scrolling starts. If I hold it there, the scrolling speed increases gradually (but slower than expected and experienced from other apps, e.g. macOS Finder).
