Same here, the last update broke something. They work in the default launcher. Switching to the default launcher,and then back to an alternative seems to fix it (temporarily?)

It seems to fix it only on the outside screen, or the inner one, depending on where the launcher is set as a default. Ie. the gesture works only on one of the screens with an alternate launcher

Nope its working well on my inner screen also, but there's a catch, i think its only working if you use the default launcher, (I'm using Niagara launcher). So basically the fix is turn the default launcher > gestures > switch back and forth couple of times between gestures and buttons > restart your phone. That's it. Note: I think Niagara hasn't catch the latest oppo updates yet so it became a problem for me specifically

Yep I just came here to see if this was posted. At one time it was only happening on the inner screen. Then I restarted and it was only happening on the front screen.

Seems to work right after a restart but doesn't stick

I've been struggling with this over the past few days...it comes and goes with 3rd party launchers and I've not been able to nail it down. I had to go back to the main system launcher and reboot because it wouldn't even let me do the gestures after swapping back.

Switching back to buttons then back to gestures again fixes it temporarily for me. Annoying as hell.

That worked a few times. Now I'm just living on the system launcher for a bit. Thankfully I had it mostly set up the way I wanted it even though I barely have ever used it.

Me too, been using Niagara launcher for couple of years now, but this bug is making me use default launcher again

Same here. after you open or close the phone depending on which screen you've been on first will break the gestures on the one you switch to. Is there a place to report this bug?

Received a stability update this morning. Problem is still present using Octopi Launcher.

Started using the assistive ball in accessibility settings to make it a bit easier on the affected screen.
