Desktop constantly appearing - single swipe

I have turned off most swipe gestures but still have the issue that when I move the cursor quickly (in a single swipe action) the desktop constantly appears no matter what app or program I am using. In system preferences, I don't see an option to turn this off.

Using Big Sur 11.2.3 on a new mac air. If anyone knows of a solution it would be much appreciated, thanks

Swipe between pages gesture not working. The "swipe between pages" gesture is not working after updating to MacOS Big Sur 11.3. It was working for some time after the update but then it stopped working all of a sudden. I've restarted the computer a few times now and also toggled the "swipe between pages" on and off but nothing seems to work. Please help me solve this issue.

Big Sur Menu Bar bug (in full screen) Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my MacBook Pro 16 to Big Sur 11.4 from Catalina 10.15.7. After using it for a while I noticed some Menu Bar glitches when applications are opened in full screen. For instance when I watch a pdf document in Preview (opened in full screen) and I move the cursor to the top, the Menu Bar very frequently appears absolutely transparent. Menu items are messed up with the content below which is visible (like on screenshot). I never saw something like this on Catalina. Do you have the same problem??

Scrolling issue on Big Sur and Monterey I have a macpro (late 2013). I was using Big Sur for a while with no issues. However, this morning I noticed that several app windows, including the Finder window automatically scroll to the bottom or to the extreme right as soon as the mouse enters that window. Further, if I try to scroll back to the top or left, the window scrolls back to the extreme opposite. It means that I can't access files nor read/edit them. I then upgraded to the latest Monterey release, hoping this bug does not appear there. Unfortunately I still have the same issue. I don't think it has anything to do with the mouse. Anyone experiencing a similar problem and/or know of a fix? Help greatly appreciated, Many thanks.
