touchegg's Issues

Switching workspaces with gestures sometimes gets interrupted and reverts to previous workspace

(1) Issue/Bug Description:

After a recent update I've noticed a really annoying behavior when switching workspaces. It seems to happen only when using the touch-pad gestures (4-finger swipe up/down). Basically, if I'm swiping between workspaces quickly, it seems sometimes one of the windows steals focus after I scroll past it. So it yanks me back to that desktop rudely, interrupting where I was trying to go.

It's easily reproducible for me by just opening multiple firefox windows on multiple workspaces, and just swiping up and down between them using the 4-finger touch pad gesture.

(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know):

1. Use tiled windows (no active hint, no window titles, gaps: 2)
2. Open 3+ firefox windows each in their own workspace
3. Enable "focus follows mouse" in Tweaks (I have this on but turning it off doesn't seem to fix is, just mentioning for completeness)
4. swipe between workspaces using 4-finger swipe touchpad gesture (it's not 100% of the time, you have to try for a bit)
5. Sometimes, it will quickly switch back to the workspace you just left

(3) Expected behavior:

When I change workspaces, it stays on the workspace I changed to.

(10) Other Notes:

Might be relevant: I'm using an Apple Magic Trackpad.

I feel like this didn't happen before and only started happening recently after an update. But this might be related: I think it used to maybe instead give me those "window is ready" notifications. Now instead of those notifications, it steals focus and switches workspaces.

One to one gesture support as in elementary os and gnome's latest gesture implementation?

My Screen/Page Gets Randomly Zoomed In And Out

Describe the bug

My screen/page gets randomly zoomed in and out to 120%, 60%, etc. even when I am not using my touchpad or keyboard. This happens when I am using FireFox, the command line, pdf viewers, etc. I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 5548 and I have dual booted Pop!_OS 22.04 with Windows Ten. I installed the linux distro a few days ago.

At first, I tried disabling the HiDPI Daemon, but that did not work. I also can confirm that this is not a touchpad/hardware issue because this doesn't occur when I use windows ten.

Later then, I thought that the problem could be something with the drivers because my laptop is from 2015 and is pretty old.

After some time, I ran journalctl -f, so I could see what was exactly happening when the bug occurred. The logs of the bug are posted below in the Logs section. A person reviewed these logs and told me that the bug could have something to do with "touchegg segfaulting".

P.S. I disabled touchegg on my laptop and the bug was still occurring. So, I am not sure if touchegg is still relevant to the bug.

In addition, I forgot to mention that other than random zooming, on FireFox, the webpage can get preloaded at 90%, 30%, etc. instead of at 100%.

Expected behaviour

I should only be able to zoom in/out the page of an application with keyboard shortcuts or my touchpad.

Actual behaviour

At irregular times, the page of an application gets randomly zoomed in/out to 120%, 65%, etc.

Four-finger left-swipe not working on fresh Pop!_OS install with version 2.0.15

The Issue

After a clean install with Pop!_OS 22.04 Intel iso 21, and subsequently completing a full upgrade of packages, four-finger left-swipe no longer functions.

Background in case other users think they might have this problem

In Pop!_OS multitouch trackpad gestures are supported. In Cosmic for Gnome, Pop!_OS utilizes three finger gestures for quickly moving window focus as part of it's less directly mouse-driven design (swiping fingers is faster than moving a cursor discretely and clicking). The general direction of the sweep is used to allow focus to be thrown quickly through windows.

Along side three-finger gestures, Pop!_OS uses four-finger interactions to access some of the shell features including switching between workspaces, and deploying the Workspace and Application Views.

Pop!_OS' inclination to making individual UX elements more mono-functional means that the Applications View and Workspaces View are separated. By default, a four-finger right-swipe will bring up the Applications View and a subsequent left- or right- swipe will dismiss the view. For Workspaces View, the left-swipe is used. Up and Down switch between logically adjacent workspaces.

Is this my problem?

If four-finger left-swipes, which bring up the Workspaces View, don't work for you this may be your issue. You can run touchegg --debug in a terminal and check if your output matches below.

Logs

When attempting a four-finger left-swipe, touchegg --debug yields the following:

Gesture begin detected
               Gesture information:
                              Fingers: 4
                              Type: SWIPE
                              Direction: LEFT
               Gesture performed on app: Gjs
               Action configured for this gesture
               Ignoring this gesture. This could mean no action is configured, the configured action is not 
               supported or that it was performed in a system window (panel, dock, desktop, etc)

Doing the same to the right provides constant output indicating Gesture update detected ({some number}%)

Other notes:

On a much older Pop!_OS install (updated from 21.10, and regularly since), updating did not break the four-finger left-swipe gesture. Restarting Touchegg did not remedy the issue either. The problem didn't present until after rebooting following the update (as far as I could tell).

Context menu on desktop remains visible when using touchpad gesture to navigate workspaces

Issue:
title

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Right click on desktop to open the context menu
2. Use gesture to move up or down a workspace, or open the workspaces view
3. See the issue.

Screen cast of the issue:

Screencast.from.02-03-2022.01.07.03.PM.mp4

Expected Behavior:
Context menu should be closed when gestures for workspaces are used(it works as expected with gesture for application library)

Update to latest version on Pop!_OS 21.10

@andirsun reported this issue originally in the companion GNOME Shell X11 Gestures extension.

libinput 1.18 introduced a breaking change in the way deltas are reported.

The change is already handled upstream in 2.0.10.

Updating the package is required to avoid issues on Pop!_OS 21.10.
