Is there support for the Apple mouse wheel and trackpad in Silverlight 5?

One of my Silverlight apps has some users who use it on an Apple Mac. They complain that the mouse wheel and track are not working.

From the research I did, it seems like this is not supported in browser apps on Mac computers.

Does Silverlight 5 support enhanced support? Is it on Microsoft radar for a future version of Silverlight?

While my initial thought was that it works in 4 and 5, I decided to test it again under the silverlight 5 beta.

Mousewheel scrolling does not seem to work for scrollviewers or the like. I can't check the trackpad since I don't have a Mac laptop.

In fact, I noticed the same problem during a recent demo for some partners. Using the trackpad, they were not used to increase the depth of zoom.

However, I'm sure it worked before. Therefore, it seems that updating Mac OS (or Safari) has violated this feature. This is good: support for mouse and trackpad in MacOs is in the list of Silverlight functions, MS usually fixes the problem, possibly for the next release (I suggest you cross your fingers)
