After Plasma 6 release, I got that Wayland gesture bug.
Correct gestures work like that:
4 finger swipe up - enters overview mode with virtual desktops
4 finger swipe down - should reverse the overview to previously focused window
The bug happens during swipe down, when two virtual desktops are present. Instead, returning to the previously focused window, it jumps spontaneously into right desktop.
Basically, when there are more than one virtual desktop, 4 finger swipes are not possible to use, because they always focus to other desktop.
I checked it on another laptop and all was fine, bug was not present. So I checked on my current laptop using the test user with vanilla settings and… the bug is also present there, suggesting that it’s not a matter of configs.
I came to the conclusion that this is a bug with my hardware and deleted the additional virtual desktops, which I don’t use, so the issue was not affecting me that much. However, I noticed, that on the same laptop, on another system, Tuxedo OS, with Ubuntu 24.04 base (kernel 6.11) and Plasma 6, the bug is not present!
So somehow on Manjaro I am experiencing this swipe bug, while on other system, the same laptop, it works just fine. Again, this bug started with Plasma 6, right from the beginning and is still present till now. So any version of Plasma came with it, so it doesn’t matter that Tuxedo OS has Plasma 6.2, which is way older what Manjaro has.
Has any of you any idea how to debug it? Has Manjaro different touchpad drivers? Or maybe they are different configured then Ubuntu has? What packages are responsible for it? Where to start?
