Gnome multitouch gestures on touchscreen also trigger a left click (self.gnome)

I'm using Debian 12 with Gnome on my Surface Go 2, and while the multitouch gestures are great, when I use them I also click on anything where I start a 3 finger gesture. I like my panel hidden except in the Dash overview, but I disabled this so I don't have to use gestures. When I do use them I have to use them on an empty part of the screen to prevent clicking anything.

Is there any setting I can change to prevent left clicks when using 3 finger gestures?

I cannot try it myself. But maybe this page helps: https://itsfoss.com/three-finger-swipe-gnome/

Thanks but that doesn't really help. The gestures do work fine, it's just that they also cause random things to be clicked when using gestures on a touchscreen.
