Vivaldi for Windows Unable to draw in Magma because of touchpad gestures

If you try to draw it vivaldi it blocks the cursor and thinks you're trying to make a gesture. It works like this with windows ink enabled, but if you disable it pressure sensitivity won't work so it's not a workaround either. Either add an ability to disable touch gestures (weird you haven't yet), or add adequate support for tablet devices (vivaldi struggles with those sometimes besides this occasion). Drawing in other browsers like Edge work perfectly fine. Tablet; Veikk S640, OC; Windows 11 26200.8524, Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.35 (Official Build) (64-bit)

i'm talking about these gestures, don't confuse with mouse gestures

U can disable mouse gestures, assuming that is what u meant. Uncheck Allow Gestures.

funny enough, disabling mouse gestures won't disable touchpad gestures XD that's the point

That's not the case, so not sure what's going on with your system. Per Vivaldi Help:

You can also perform gestures using other input devices, such as trackpads or touchpads. To enable gestures for these devices, tick the box for Perform Gestures with ALT Key in Settings.

shown types of gestures are not related to mouse gestures you can find in the settings. What you said refers to the cases when you want to perform MOUSE gestures with other devices, instead of holding rmb it allows you to hold alt cuz it's obviously easier to do using trackpad/touchpad. TOUCHPAD gestures don't require holding any buttons and performed by swiping with two fingers across the touchpad. Vivaldi for some reason falsely interpretates swiping pen (for drawing purposes) as swiping with two fingers and triggers unwanted "back" gesture (which is again can not be disabled in the settings)
