Actions retriggering on continuous gestures

Bug Reports
1

Hiya,
I'm on macOS Monterey 12.7.6, with the latest BTT alpha 4.672.

I've noticed for literally just the last few days that tabs in my browser are mysteriously closing, and I've worked out that what's happening is that I use Pinch In as Cmd-W, and if I continue the gesture for too long, it triggers another tab close.

I'm pretty sure there used to be an option to stop these kinds of gestures re-triggering.
Can anyone help me out? Or is this an actual bug?
Thanks!

for pinches you can configure this in the advanced settings, either by setting a block time or by increasing the required pinch amount

Thanks Andreas.
In that case, I really do think something's wrong, because I've set it to 0.5 (max) and it's still retriggering.

I just tried changing the required pinch amount to around 0.5, and that made it harder to trigger the tab close action, but when it happened it still ended up closing two tabs.

Could anything else be interfering?

I can't think of anything obvious. Maybe try to add an advanced condition to the trigger for now:

seconds_since_last_trigger >= 1

Ah, brilliant. I was poking around there but couldn't find the right kind of thing.
That does fix it for me, thanks!
