Maybe it's just me and getting used to the larger screen - this is my first device with a screen larger than 5".

I find that when swiping away notifications, when swiping up to unlock the lockscreen, and when swiping down to expand the statusbar/quick settings, I often have to swipe multiple times because my initial swipe(s) are not quite long enough. I have found this to be true on OOS, and all custom ROMs that I've tried, so it's not ROM related - maybe hardware related, or it's just me?

Anyway, does anyone else share this struggle?
Any idea where the code/values can be found that control the distance required for a swipe gesture to be recognized? I would like to experiment with it.

Also, I wonder if it is DPI related? I run at 400 dpi (smallest width set to 432).

Definitely having the same "issue", just coming off a nexus 5 that never needed multiple swipes to get off the lockscreen or notifications

Is there a global variable that controls the minimum distance needed for a swipe gesture?

After a few months I'm still having occasional issues swiping away notifications and pulling down the quick settings.

Notification pull down is 2 pulls for full quick settings in OOS.. I've set it as shortcut to double tap back button or you can use nova gestures .. I use fingerprint sensor so never swiped up from lock screen..
