Bug: Gesture triggers before button has been released

Open AIXruth opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

Describe your matter in detail

Gesture triggers before button has been released. Sometimes a gesture trigger is activated before I have completed the gesture and I released the mouse button.

Reproduction steps:

Configure a gesture that closes a tab when swiped down (see Screenshot)
Select old or new tabs, maybe after a while, and draw the configured gesture (down) to close a tab, !without! releasing the button.
In some cases the gesture will trigger without released button.

Screenshot of gesture:

My System:

Operating system: Windows 11
Firefox version: 143.0.4
Gesturefy version: 3.2.15

Is it possible that your mouse’s micro switch has malfunctioned?

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue. Perhaps @Mowd's guess is right. Du you also experience the problem in other areas? For example does holding the right mouse button at some point suddenly open the context menu without you releasing the button?

Unfortunately, I really don't know when it happens and can't always reproduce it. Since I started pressing the mouse button more consciously/harder, it hasn't happened again. I'll keep testing it....

Today, I had two browser tabs that closed prematurely again. I can definitely rule out a faulty mouse button, as my mouse button was still pressed and the gesture (close tab) and mouse trail (down) were still visible on the screen.

I am also unable to reproduce the error with tabs that have been open for a short time. The tabs opened today were open for 30-60 minutes before I performed the gesture.

Is there any chance, I could debug the issue in more details for you?
