Gnome Shell 3.32.0 (Ubuntu 19.04) 3 finger settings actually 4

[joedborg]

Using GNOME Shell 3.32.0 on Ubuntu 19.04.

These are my settings. Cycle applications (3 finger horizontal) works fine, but cycle workspaces (3 finger vertical), actually requires 4 fingers. Not sure why this is? Is there any debugging I can do?

This happens on 18.10 as well.

Hmm thats interesting. Does the four finger gesture obey the action you defined in the GUI? if not I am thinking Gnome has hijacked it and may require a workaround

@mpiannucci thanks for the reply. It doesn't let me tick those 4 finger gestures to enable them.

[mpiannucci]

yeah thats by default. Can you change the gesture for three finger vertical and see if it works?

By default Gnome handles the four finger vertical gesture and I have not been able to override it.

Ahh, I did not know 4 finger was a gnome built in for the workspace swap. Is this a new thing?

Yes, you're right, if I change the behavior, 3 finger works. It's just swallowing the workspace switching.
