SUMMARY
Since I have a microsoft surface pro device I tried to select some touchscreen gestures in order to simplify my user experience with manjaro. After some digging I have decided to keep on the left and on the right edge of the screen "application launcher" as a my preferred option. Later on i tried to keep on the right "overview" or "present windows", after this modification I cannot even see the edge "illuminate" while i swype with my finger.
I have made some screenshots and a logs, unfortunately i cannot attach them both. I can send them via email.
I hope to have clearly described the problem. Unfortunately only the left part is visible while doing the swype.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to touchscreen gestures
2. Select an edge
3. Select "application launcher"
4. Try it to function
5. Change it to "overview"
6. Edge screen does not interact

OBSERVED RESULT
Gesture do not work

EXPECTED RESULT
Opening the launcher/"illuminate" the area.

Hmm, not sure if this is a driver bug or if the input was filtered out somewhere in KWin. Do you still see this happening in Plasma 6.4?
If yes, please record the events of swiping from the right side and attach that here. You can do this with
> sudo libinput debug-events

Hi, I'm sorry I've been really busy these days.
UNfortunately I no longer use Linux on my Surface Pro 7, it's possible that the bug has been already resolved.
In case of a new installation of plasma I'll have a look at it.
