Mac trackpad navigation does not work correctly inside Painter

Inside Painter, MacBook trackpads only control zoom when two-finger swiping and nothing else. Swiping zooms, spreading fingers does nothing, shift+swipe does nothing.

I would expect it to work the same as the 3D view inside Designer, in which two-finger swiping rotates, shift+swipe pans, and finger-spreading zooms in/out. That’s how all other 3D applications I’m aware of also handle trackpad navigation, so this doesn’t seem like an intentional design choice.
