Three Fingers Up Gesture May Instead Close an App That Is Being Used

[Fatih20]

What Happened?

I don't know if this is the intended behavior or not but if you are using the three fingers up gesture for the touchpad in a way that is somewhat quick, instead of showing the multitasking view, it has a high likelihood of closing the currently active window. Frankly, this makes me wary of using the gesture to show multitasking view since it might instead close the app I'm currently using.

Steps to Reproduce

Use three swipe gesture going up that is quick (not gentle).

Expected Behavior

Just show me my multitasking view.

OS Version

6.x (Odin)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

I think this is probably something to do with https://github.com/elementary/gala/issues/975

In the multitasking view, a middle-click will close a window, and a 3 finger tap is interpreted as a middle click.

Does this sound like the same issue?

Then I will close this issue as that one is more specific. Feel free to add any additional thoughts or comments on that issue.

Thanks for the report!
