Can confirm. Interestingly it works in the Desktop grid effect; swiping down with four fingers returns you to where yo were before, instead of opening the Present Windows effect.

Could be my work laptop’s terrible trackpad, but for me returning from Desktop grid is glitchy and eventually opens overview if I keep swiping down Ah, I can reproduce that too. The activation threshold is much higher though. So I didn't notice it before unless I really keep swiping down a lot! Marco used some dark magic to make Desktopgrid close like this. I'm working on a contextual gestures framework in MR !2184 which is almost done. Expect this to be fixed in 5.26. *** Bug 455225 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** With https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2530 in Plasma 5.25.1, a four-finger swipe up while in the effect now does nothing, but at least it doesn't open the Desktop Grid effect. Effectively fixed in Plasma 6 by merging Present Windows with Overview and harmonizing their touch shortcuts so that doing the same shortcut again in the opposite direction closes it. |
Created attachment 149124 [details] Visual representation of when a user might want to exit overview by swiping up SUMMARY The new 1:1 gestures in 5.25 beta are intuitive when launching overview and desktop grid, but they do not follow expected behaviour to exit these effects. For example, one would expect a four-finger swipe up when inside overview to exit the effect, as well as a four-finger swipe down from desktop grid to return to the desktop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open overview with four-finger swipe down 2. Try to exit the effect by four-finger swipe the opposite direction 3. Have desktop grid appear instead SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma: 5.24.90
