Swipe returning me back to another screen

I am using a single desktop with apps in full-screen mode to the left and right of that main screen as indicated in the screenshot:



I am used to traverse the screens with CTRL+arrow.


The issue I have sometimes is that I for example swipe to go to the right "screen" (where iTerm and PHPStorm are), and then as soon as that screen would stabilize and become available for interacting with, it automatically reverts me back to a center screen as if I've pressed CTRL+left.


Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

Have you tried restarting the Mac..(?)



Make changes to your trackpad Settings and compare your results; then come back to your preferred settings and test.


>System Settings>Trackpad
