Swiping between full-screen apps direction is wrong?

This question was asked in 2011 and many agreed, that when you turn off natural swipe direction, it messes with the swiping between full-screen apps and vice versa. What are the possible fixes for still existing problem after 10 years?

What does it do?

If you turn off "natural" direction, you would swipe the view frame around the Desktop, not swipe the Desktop into view.

I don't see anything messed up about it. It is what you asked for.


Natural direction means move the document not the view frame like traditional scrolling did.

There aren't separate settings for Mission Control and scroll views in documents.
