New bug:
Mouse Gestures completely stop working after some time...
Problem description:
The mouse pointer track stops showing on screen when performing a gesture, and no Mouse Gesture action follows any longer.
Workaround:
Close Slimjet and reopen it, then it works again... until after a few hours and then no more mouse gestures.
Environment:
Fresh install of Slimjet 33.0.0.0 on my new Zorin OS 16 (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).
This didn't seem to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS but I didn't reach Slimjet 33 on that previous OS (I was in the 32.something and it worked fine).
I had never encountered this in years of Slimjet usage, and it seems to have started on day 1 or 2 of my new Zorin16+Slimjet33 install.
[EDIT] Actually it seems this is caused by the Right Click being buggy... Mouse Gestures are triggered by right click being pressed down while moving the mouse. I just noticed another issue: right click on a tab does nothing (no menu appears, neither on a regular tab nor on a tab group). This is weird since a right click on a web page still works (usual context menu still appears on pages). I checked and this is not caused by my mouse, the same issue happends on my trackpad/touchpad.
So I think the issue is caused by a wrong Right Click interpretation.
Anyone else having this issue in Slimjet 33 and/or on Zorin OS 16 or maybe Ubuntu 20.04?
Mouse Gestures stop working randomly? Actually Right click gets messed up?

Well it looks like this is a glitch coming from Gnome-Tweaks where a feature originated in Ubuntu 18.04 allows for Touchpads to emulate mouse clicks.

I changed the Mouse Click Emulation setting from the default Area to Disabled and now it seems to be working fine with Slimjet.
