I don't know how urgent this task is, but I checked how it works on our branch with improved bottom tabs and it seems that this issue doesn't occur there, because workspace settings page contains the bottom tab bar and it's not possible to go back using swipe on this page. If we can wait for our PR to be merged, I believe we can put this issue on hold. If not I'll try to find a solution for the current version :) I'm attaching videos with a reproduction of this issue from our PR:

it's not possible to go back using swipe on this page.

I think we might need to discuss that on the PR
