Sensitivity of the Back (or Forward) Touch Gesture

Reported by ceste...@uchile.cl, Oct 22

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Swipe from left to right, having visited another page on the current tab.
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Visit the previous link

What went wrong?
This is not so much a bug as it is a suggestion to further improve navigation (or rather personalize the user experience). When I utilize the back touch-screen gesture (which is swiping from left to right), it is necessary to swipe somewhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of the screen. It might seem like a trivial problem, but this is by far the most common action performed during navigation and having this long swipe distance is somewhat annoying. The swipe distance should be configurable. I'd suggest to have the default distance about the distance you can move your thumb without changing the grip (about one inch, on a 12-inch tablet, 1920 px across, I'd say it is about 160 px). That would make the browsing experience easier, pleasant, and quicker.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Hope this suggestion helps.

cestevez@ Thanks for filling the issue...

Unable to reproduce the issue on reported chrome 69.0.3497.100 and stable chrome 70.0.3538.67 Using Windows 10 Surface. Attaching screencast for reference.
Steps:
-----
1. Launched chrome 
2. Opened new tab and navigated to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India
3. Swiped from left to right (as per screencast)
As we are observed that swipe visits the previous link

@Reporter: Could you please check the attached screen cast and please let us know if anything missed from our end and could you please upgrade to latest chrome stable 70.0.3538.67, you can download latest chrome builds here:" https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel ". Let us know whether issue still persists.

Thanks..!
