Gestures Not working Hi, gestures on my trackpad don't work despite having them all activated in the system settings...everything else work perfectly. Specifically: mission control doesn't open, app exposes, notification centre, swipe between full screens, launchpad and show desktop. All scrolling and clicking work fine. I have Big Sur 11.2.3

Two Finger Scroll Often Fails to Work When I want to scroll up and down through a display list, the two-finger scroll works several times in a row, but regularly fails to work. This happens once in about a dozen scroll gestures. It simply refuses to respond to my scroll gesture, and I have to do it again in order to get it to scroll again. This just started after I upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey. On Big Sur, my scroll gestures were never intermittently ignored. Apple seems to have decided their input devices were working too well and they needed to break them. ;-) Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know of a fix?

Check in System Preferences and Trackpad again to enable them.

An aside - showing Big Sur 11.1 in your profile. That is out dates. There is an 11.4 update available that fixes bugs and security issues.
