Hi all,

Seems that the extension doesn't work in Gnome 3.34.3, Fedora 31 on a X1 Carbon 6th gen running Wayland.

I've seen others using it in Fedora 31 so I'm wondering if its something to do with the laptop.

Cheers Al

Ive seen others use a thinkpad with no issues so that is a new one for sure.

On certain touchpads, three and four finger gestures broke after a recent libinput update in Fedora (happened to me, too, on an Thinkpad T460p). For me this was fixed by the update from today, libinput 1.15.3-2. So if the four finger inbuild gestures is also broken for, then you're most likely hitting the same bug and should be fine today or tomorrow.

hi, I can report that on my machine (thinkpad x270 with arch linux and latest gnome deskop, i. e. 3.36; libinput version is 1.15.4-1) 3 finger horizontal swipes work well whereas vertical swipes with 3 fingers seem to be reversed: swiping up evokes the action I set for a down motion and vice versa. another thing I observe is that all actions related to the workspaces don’t to not work, nothing happens on such a setting (while swiping itself works, though reversed as pointed out above).

I have no insights but I can imagine that with the recent update of gnome some definitions concerning the workspaces have changed, that’s why there’s no response to the extended gestures in these cases.

can anybody else confirm this behaviour on their desktop?

EDIT: I’ve just recognized that switching workspaces works by swiping vertically with 4 fingers. but this seems to be a default action in gnome now (?) as it has nothing to do with the ext. gest. extension. and obviously what I have described above is the result of conflicting asignments of swipes to the same actions. but if the mentioned 4 finger swipe is a new (?) default behaviour in gnome there’s still no option to set/adjust that within the system settings....

Yeah the 4 finger gestures are grabbed by Gnome and there is currently no way to override them unfortunately. Its possible there is a bug in the way natural scrolling is handled with the latest gnome releases, I'll have to check on that.

Can confirm. But we should open a new issue about it.
