[Solved] Three Finger Gesture issue after update

I am running qtile and had originally set it up to use 3 finger swipes left and right to move between groups/workspaces.  After a recent update, this stopped working.  Now it only accepts three finger swipes up and down to move between groups/workspaces.  I was using libinput-gestures to accomplish this but I'm wondering if now there's a conflict with libinput.

"libinput debug-events" outputs activity on 3 finger left and right swipes.

Any thoughts on what else to check?

Re: [Solved] Three Finger Gesture issue after update

I see that libinput 1.27.0 has changed `libinput debug-events` output slightly as per this commit and this is breaking libinput-gestures.

It would be best if you raise this issue at https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures/issues.

This is fixed by version 2.78 of libinput-gestures which is updated in the AUR.
