Swipes in Safari stop working

I've been encountering the same issues everyone has described. I have a mid-2012 non-retina MacBook Pro. I did the PRAM reset followed by an SMC reset and I haven't had any swipe/scroll problems since. My battery read is a little off, but I'm hoping a re-calibration will fix that. I don't have any additional software installed either (Jitouch, MagicPad).

This is definitely a bug in Mavericks that I'm hoping Apple will correct soon.

Best of luck to everyone.

Thanks for the tip reference mouse swipe.

Same problem. reset swipe and now works.

Many thanks

I can confirm that I reproduce this bug on my 2013 rMBP.

For a while two-finger scrolling/swiping will be fine in Chrome/Safari. At some point, swiping back or forward produces no result, and from this point owards two-finger scrolling/swiping are completely non-functional.

- Shutting down Chrome/Safari does not resolve the problem.

- Restarting (PRAM reset) resolves the problem temporarily

- A normal restart resolved the problem temporarily

I am curious if there is any place where we can file a bug report with Apple?

Thanks

GoEagles29 this is exactly what I am finding. All of the above mentioned "fixes" are temporary and the problems do come back. PRAM, system restart all only help for the short term. This is a big problem and makes your Mac unreliable.

Apple needs to get on this quick as it is affecting more and more users. It's not solely users with input modifiying software (BTT, Magic Fingers etc).

If I pull my Macbook Pro off HDMI and just use it as a laptop, the problem seems to go away. Temporarily.

Try going to System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures > and turn off "Swipe Between Pages" and then turn it back on. That fixed it for me.

This is a poor workaround since this completely disables the ability to swipe to go backward and forward on browsers (both Chrome and Safari).

Didn't help in my situation. The browser was frozen and the setting of the trackpad/mouse was not un-freezing the browser. This issue is deeper than something that can be toggled on/off in a menu.

I have the same problem with my MBpro end fall 2011.

Hope that it will be corrected soon because all was good with Montain Lion...

I invite everybody to file a report here to make sure that the developers understand that this bug affects many people:

Yes thank I do it with also a bug report here:

https://bugreport.apple.com

I am optimist since apple take care of pb and numerous usesr seem to have the pb (already 4813 views) on this page! Sure on the next update (hopefully next thesday) the pb will be corrected! 😢

It's work like a charm, thanks buddy!

Hi guys, I found another temporary workaround, just locking the screen will fix this problem temporarily.

thank it can be usefull 😉

I also success by disable/enable swipe and zoom option in preference panel (it looks working but perhpas temporarily as aways)

I turned mine off and back on as well (after reading your post), and that fixed my issue. Thanks!

yes, but perhaps for few hours or days... for now it looks also ok for me... we will see later...
