GNOME 3 finger swipe gestures stopped working after kernel update

Hi,
I have GNOME 45 on my computer, 3 finger swipe used to work perfectly fine.
I've just run these commands lastly:

sudo pacman -Syu
reboot

Then, 3 finger swipe gestures stopped working. Every other gesture still work perfectly fine (3 finger click, 2 finger swipe/click and tap to click).

$ sudo libinput debug-events

So, basically libinput can detect 3 finger swipes as usual. However, GNOME doesn't detect it somehow. Please help and thank you all in advance.

(I have seen other people with similar problems and they solved it with touchegg. However, touchegg doesn't work the same with GNOME. If you think it can, I am always open to new ways.)
