@codebytere @deepak1556 this seems to have caused a regression in VSCode where our window size is assumed to be larger than it is when macOS native tabs are enabled. See microsoft/vscode#79176

Swipe event still isn't triggered with electron 7, news ?

[sdnyco]

In addition to 'rotate-gesture'. Still not working in 8.1.1

[codebytere]

@sdnyco rotate-gesture is working just fine for me, see this fiddle.

@KASOGIT it does work: it's your system settings that make it appear not to.

-swipeWithEvent: is used to implement 10.6-style trackpad swiping, where the content on the screen doesn't move with the swipe. Most macOS trackpads are not configured to allow this kind of swiping anymore; the "Swipe between pages" preference in Trackpad pref pane has to be set to "swipe with two or three fingers" for it to be available.

i wanted to prevent three figure swipe gesture i tried

`win.on("swipe", (e, d) => {
log.info("Swipe")
// e.preventDefault()

})
win.on("rotate-gesture", (e, r) => {
log.info("rotate-gesture")
// e.preventDefault()
})`

but i am not even getting logs. it seems both event not working.
please let me know if anyone have any solution.
