Hello! I've been loving Thunder, but one usability feature I've brought over from my days of using Slide (for Reddit) is swiping right (or up, in some cases) to dismiss the post view and return to the feed. This doesn't work where there are comments, of course, thanks to swipe actions, which I am loving, but it worked on space under them and on the post content itself until the latest update. Is this intended behavior, and will it be coming back? Swiping out of the post creation view still works, which leads me to believe this is generally supposed to work in Thunder.

Do you happen to have left-to-right swipe comment gestures enabled? There was a change in this latest update which adjusts some logic for this. If you have LTR gestures enabled, then you should be able to swipe from the left edge of the screen to go back. If you have LTR gestures disabled, then you should be able swipe from anywhere on the screen to go back.

If you are still having issues, please create a issue on GitHub so that it can be investigated further!

Ahh, it's only from the edge of the screen. At that point it's easier to use the Android back gesture, imo. Maybe it could be changed to allow swiping from anywhere when not on a comment? I don't know what the code looks like, implementing that might be kludgey.

Edit: Should it be working to swipe back if I swipe from the left edge on a comment, or should that still trigger gestures? Right now it's triggering gestures, which makes this change seem odd.

Still having a weird thing where if I swipe back a bit, then decide not to go back (release so that it doesn't go back), and try to again, it takes two attempts, but I assume that's normal.
