Ensure to delete any cached sources before upgrading from 1.19.3.

Also, import the upstream signing key; only simple way I can think of right now is via the following (requires curl and jq of course):

curl -sS 'https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/api/v4/users/20572/gpg_keys/530' | jq '.key' | xargs echo -e | gpg --import -i -

I disabled libinputs option where fast 3 finger drags get promoted to swipes.

@yarliepow can you clarify how you did this / which specific options you refer to ?

I disabled libinputs option where fast 3 finger drags get promoted to swipes. This seems to work for me.

@yarliepow, yes, they kept the 3-finger fast swipe gesture if you drag fast enough, to trigger 3-finger drag, one have to drag slowly... the issue was that everyone had to drag VERY SLOWLY to trigger the drag therefore they adjusted some hardcoded variable to make 3-finger drag trigger easier. But apparently for you the threshold is not enough as you are still triggering fast swipe sometimes... Maybe we can track the code and discover where the adjust can be done and create a patch?

I tried the updated libinput 1.31.2 with my patch, but notice that sometimes my three finger drag moves the desktop workspace. Not always, but it's definitely annoying enough not to update.

libinput-three-finger-drag 1.31.2 solved this issue, they adjusted the threshold to trigger the fast swipe gesture, so we can trigger 3f-drag easily now

I think it's safe to upgrade the package now

I downgraded to 1.30.1
