The multitouch extension ignore area has no effect

[ryanoboril]

I want to use this extension to make the stupidly huge touch pad area smaller. I thought this extension would allow me to set an area that will ignore touches, but this seems to have no effect when I set it up. There is another issue about this but it's closed and I don't believe it's getting attention, so I will create a new issue. Here is the text of the original creator of the original issue that was ignored. I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.7

"Maybe I do not understand something properly. I expect areas on my touchpad to be completely ignored after having set ignored areas in Karabiner-Multitouch Extension. This is not the case here. The extension's GUI shows that I am moving the mouse cursor within the ignored area, but the cursor behaves totally normally, and I can also tap (which is what I really want to prevent because I often get cursor jumps when typing).

Any idea what the problem is? Or am I expecting something that the software is actually not expected to do?"
