4 Finger Tap gesture is recognized as a 4 Finger Double Tap

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Restarting my Mac didn't fix this issue. After starting/restarting BetterTouchTool, a 4 Finger Tap gesture is recognized correctly as a 4 Finger Tap. After making a 4 Finger Double Tap gesture (which is recognized correctly as a 4 Finger Double Tap) for the first time since BetterTouchTool started/restarted, all subsequent 4 Finger Tap gestures are recognized as 4 Finger Double Taps.

thanks for reporting, I can reproduce it. Should be fixed in 4.914 (uploading now)

That's quite an impressive turnaround time for bug fixes :heart_eyes:. I wish the Apple Feedback Assistant was like that.

I can confirm that BetterTouchTool 4.914 fixed the issue for me.

I notice a delay using the 4 finger tap (used for right click on trackpad). Using the same action in leftbottom corner the menu shows up quicker.

that’s normal if you have a double tap configured BTT needs to wait and see whether a second tap will follow

Yes, that's it. Disabeling the double tap is not enough. It must be deleted
by the way, corner click left bottom doesnt show in recent list
