Repeat assigned action keeps continuing

Bug Reports

Describe the bug
I use brightness and volume control with three finger swipes on the trackpad. I've setup all of them to use the "Repeat assigned action" which allows me to raise or lower them with just one swipe and holding fingers down. Since the last few alpha versions, this repeat doesn't stop even after lifting the finger. About 10% of the times, I can make it stop by triggering the reverse gesture and about 10% of the times by just clicking on the trackpad. But most times, they won't stop until I restart BTT.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
MBP Trackpad

Seems to work fine here. Could you go to Help => Export Diagnostic Debug info and send the result to andreas@folivora.ai? Then I can try it with your setup.

Done. Thanks!

Hey any updates on this? I just updated to 3.555 and unfortunately the problem still persists :frowning:

Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce it yet even with your settings :-/ I will have access to a 2016MBP later this week, then I'll try to reproduce it there.

Same issue here, started about a month ago.
I use rotate left/right for volume control, and repeat doesn't stop most of the time.
