I have a Dell XPS 13 9360 and have recently installed Ubuntu 22.04

When I perform the three finger swipe up gesture while I am on a browser, it sometimes fails to show all open windows and just scrolls up the page of the browser.

I never had any issue with four finger right swipes using touchegg on Ubuntu 20.04. Is there any way I can change the three finger swipe to four finger swipe on Ubuntu 22.04?

same issue here, i'm using a acer sf314-59 with elan trackpad, i've notice that three finger swipe down will always be recognized, so if i want multitask view i put three fingers on trackpad, drag down a bit(this appears to be always recognized since my hidden dock always shows up, which happens when gnome is in this one-to one gesture session)and finally drag up to enter multitask view, i just moved from fedora35 to ubuntu 22.04, and fedora have no such issue at all

(i've also noticed that two finger scrolling upward sometimes isn't recognized either, and the cursor just moves as if i have only one finger on it, I wonder if you happens to have observed the same issue?)

Edit: I've downgraded libinput to 1.19.3, there is a significant difference in my case, now multifinger fail much less frequent, i'm currently running fedora 36

Same issue here with x1 Carbon 5th gen. Most of the times I have to swipe up three fingers multiple times until it finally works

I found a solution for this problem. I hope it helps others as well.

logout from Ubuntu and then click on the gear icon in the bottom right corner. Then choose "Ubuntu on Xorg" and log back in. Now none of your inbuilt gestures would work. Follow this link to install touchegg ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/06/… It works better than Ubuntu 22.04's inbuilt gestures. You can then customize all your gestures using Touche to use 4 finger swipes. Also on "Ubuntu on Xorg" you won't have screen sharing issues on Zoom and Microsoft Teams

Expanding on solution from Behroz, if you logout, then choose user, before you enter your password, you should see a gear icon in the bottom right corner. And, sometimes there would be 'Ubuntu on wayland'. Choosing that, instead of the default 'Ubuntu' solved the issue for me.
