Hey there,

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.

I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.

I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.

My app settings are attached in a photo:

and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:

Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
From the home feed, tap into a community name
From the community view, tap into a community post
Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
Observe two steps back in response to a single input

Pixel 7, Android 14

I cant reproduce this, Android version? Phone? LTR/RTL ?

Can you check if you have post navigation gestures or Preset for swipe gesture enabled? Disable both and see if it still persists.
- Hey there,
  
  Hey there, Pixel 7 Android 14 LTR. The screenshot provided shows the settings enabled (assuming it successfully uploaded 🤞), the issue is related to the post navigation gesture, whilst the other one mentioned is disabled.
  
  I've just edited the post to provide an imgur link of a screen recording + visible touch input
  
  oke i can reproduce it now. Whats strange that it seems to be only happening through community > post. profile > post doesn't have this.
  
  Thank you for confirming!
  
  It does appear to be specific to certain contexts - I've also been able to reproduce this by going into my comment history, selecting a comment, selecting view post, and attempting to use the swipe left gesture.
  
  Should I create an issue on github?
  
  Sure, always the best place
  
  Alrighty, posted here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/issues/1653
