When swiping left to right from the edge of the screen, all too often my gesture isn’t recognised.

I find myself scrolling the page up and down afterwards as I fumble to navigate back in history.

It feels even more extreme when navigating back would close the current tab.

Safari on mobile doesn’t have the same problem, which makes me think gesture detection is different.

I don’t think people will scroll the page horizontally from the edges on the screen, so this shouldn’t affect other features.

Developers who’ve configured drag events specifically for Orion might find the have to update their work.

      Hi jcf, thank you for taking the time to report this bug!

      I've been trying to reproduce this issue but haven't had any success.
      Would you be able to give more context?
      Could you let me know with which version of the app you see this issue?

      Thank you for your help in making Orion a better browser!

        I experience this quite often. It’s especially noticeable when one opens a new tab and swipes back expecting the new tab to close.

        I just reproduced by visiting Hackernews and browsing as I typically would — opening comments, opening some links in new tabs, navigating around GitHub repositories, etc.
