"Issue with three-finger gesture interfering with four-finger desktop switching and occasional freezing in window preview mode"

[YonglinChann]

Describe the bug

1. Gesture Interference:
   When the three-finger horizontal swipe gesture is enabled in AltTab, it often triggers unexpectedly when I use the four-finger gesture to switch between macOS desktop spaces. This results in unintentional activation of AltTab's gesture during the four-finger swipe.

2. Freezing in Preview Mode:
   When I frequently use the three-finger horizontal swipe gesture for switching, there is a noticeable probability that after releasing the gesture, AltTab remains stuck in the window preview interface and does not automatically bring the selected window to the front.

I would appreciate it if you could look into these issues and provide a solution or workaround.

Thank you for your attention.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Problem 1:

1、macOS has two or more desktop spaces that can be switched by swiping left or right.
2、Enable AltTab's three-finger horizontal swipe feature.
3、When using four fingers to switch between macOS desktop spaces horizontally, it can be observed that the previous desktop with multiple windows is mistakenly recognized as a switch gesture by AltTab during the four-finger swipe.
Problem 2:

1、While browsing a web page in Chrome or Arc browser, the page allows two-finger horizontal swiping to navigate forward and backward between tabs.
2、Perform AltTab's three-finger horizontal swipe function within the browser page.
3、It can be observed that while switching windows, the browser tabs are also mistakenly navigated forward or 4、backward as if triggered by a two-finger gesture. This means that AltTab's gesture functionality does not effectively isolate unnecessary scrolling, leading to unintended interactions and conflicts with other usage scenarios.

Your environment

• AltTab version: 7.21.1
• macOS version: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70)
• Other relevant info: There is an external monitor connected, but the screen space where the issue occurs is unrelated to the external monitor's screen.

Hi,

I can't reproduce Problem 1 and 2. It works correctly on my machine, without any false positives from AltTab

Could you please share videos from your smartphone showcasing the issues? It would also be needed to see the AltTab settings in Preferences > Controls > Gesture, as well at the System Settings > Trackpage > More Gestures page.

Thank you 🙇

Hi, lwouis!
I have recorded a video, along with screenshots of the software settings and system settings. I am a user from China, and the display language is Chinese, but I think it should not affect your reading. You can try using OCR translation for it. Additionally, regarding the second issue I mentioned earlier: I am currently unable to reproduce the problem with the browser's two-finger gesture (for navigating forward and backward on webpages), but the conflict issue with switching between macOS spaces can be 100% reproduced.

Additionally, I accidentally clicked the close button on the issue, so you might need to reopen it. I am very sorry for the trouble this has caused you.
