Hello,
I received my MBP 16" M1 Pro in December. I also have another one with the exact same specs from work. Both of them have the same frustrating problem.
Randomly, the pinch-to-zoom and swipe back gestures stop working. Force touch also stops working during that time.
For the very limited time I stayed on macOS 12.0.1 if i recall correctly (probably only a day), I did not encounter this issue. It likely started after updating to 12.1. It makes me think it's a software issue as all other gestures work fine...
This is a video of how swipe back behaves when it doesn't work (it is of course not limited to Safari):
To temporarily fix this I can do one of the following:
- Don't touch anything for ~5 seconds (not even the keyboard) and it starts working again afterwards
- Untick and tick again some Trackpad settings in System Preferences
- Before macOS 12.4 running
I have reported this countless times to Apple, but no fix.
Does anybody else experience this issue? It is driving me crazy, I can't even do my work on a $3300 laptop.
Thanks!
