3-finger-swipe-down erratic

[SamSam]

Hello,

I am using the three finger swipe down gesture to open a floating menu.

It has worked smoothly up until (I think; at least it seems to have started around that time) the macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 update that came about July 2026, roughly.

It still works but now most of the times I need to make four or more swipes until BTT triggers.

I have the Mission Control gesture in use - three fingers swipe UP - but I had that before already when the BTT gesture was working smoothly...

I use it on:

MacBook Air 15" M2 2023, macOS 26.5.2

Better Touch Tool 6.651 (2026072005) alpha

Update, restart, reboot... no change.

Doeas anyone have this issue too or can anyone help?

Cheers,

Sam

the three finger swipes should be very stable. Is it maybe triggering but the action doesn't work correctly for some reason?

You can check the HUD Overlay option to see whether the gesture in general works:

Interesting. It is as you said. The gesture triggers but the action does only occasionally.

What to do?

Can you post a screenshot of your action configuration? (Or if you can send an export of your preset to andreas@folivora.ai, then I can try to reproduce it here)

What kind of floating menu are you trying to shown, is it positioned in a specific way?

thanks for sending your menu, unfortunately it works fine here and seems to show with every swipe.

Could you do one more thing: reproduce the issue then immediately go to Help => Export Basic Debug Logs and send these to me as well? Maybe they show why the menu is not showing.
