Every time I try to scroll left using two fingers on one of my tables, it is triggering the touchpad’s back gesture in Chrome.

Hey everyone! Thanks for sharing your experience about this issue in this thread.

Our engineering team has investigated this in the past, and they have concluded that this issue is not one that is unique or localized to Airtable but is most likely either an issue with Chrome on MacOS, and/or your trackpad settings are causing sideway scroll attempts to trigger a "back" response by your browser. They have recommended that when you run into the problem, to exit chrome and reopen it or update your trackpad settings. Alternatively, you could try using the Airtable app for MacOS, this may be able to get around the problem.

We've also tested to see if the issue occurs in Firefox for Mac, and so far haven't run into the issue, so it may be worthwhile to try. Hope this helps!
