New Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra tablet owner. A couple of quirks i can't figure out, so I am asking for help.
1) I have a bluetooth keyboard paired. I am noticing that if I swipe my palm against its touchapd, then the touchpad gets locked up, and thh$e mouse cursor stops moving. If I keep holding the left button mouse on the touchpad and move another finger on the touchpad at the` same time, then i can somewhat drag the cursor on the screen. But this is not the behavior I want. Eventually I either restart the keyboard or it comes back after i press some keyboard combination. I just can't figure out which one.
2) How do I change the scrolling direction? if i scroll from the top of the screeen to the bottom, then I'd expect the content of the screen to move down and vice versa. But it does the exact opposite.
3) My applications start in a popup view mode, and not full screen. There is something called Dex. If i turn it off, then things go back to normal. I don't know if really need Dex at this point
4) How do I enable or disable 1 finger scroiling at will? Sometimes 1 finger works, and then suddenly it switches to 2 fingers, then it may go back to one. I can't find a sequence/shortcut that makes it happen.
5) If i disable the keyboard toolbar in settings, then a message pops up saying that these functions can be accessed by holding the custom key. What/where is it?
6) The on screen keyboard shows some foreign characters if i hover the mouse pointer over any standard english leetter. How do I get rid of it?

Tab S10 Ultra.
Yeah, I can turn Dex mode off, not a biggie.
I am not even sure what it is for.
Turns out one finger scrolling causes more issues than it does me favors. How do I disable it completely?

Well, the screen sometimes switches between 2 fingers to a 1 one finger scrolling gesture. I for the life of me can't figure out what makes it do so. The side effect is that when I RDP to my Windows servers, the 1 fonger scroll introduces an unintended drag when i simply want to move the mouse cursos but instead it highlishts the conten of the screen or starst dragging files.
Also, noticed that when I press keyes such as SHIFT or CONTROL on the keyboard, the touchpad stops working until the keys are released. Haven't found an option to rectify this yet.

There's really no adjustment for scrolling, do u have a screen protector? Are you using the stock launcher or 3rd party ? 3rd party u can change gesture inputs like double tap the screen to close or something else
