gesture don't work well together

I think this is an issue on the jitouch side. I have sent them a mail,
let's see what they say.

Thanks for the link, apparently I have the same problem as Clint Tseng. Not
sure about the issue being on Jitouch's side though, as Chrome seems to
interpret a gesture that is not the intended one as being meant for it (I'm
guessing that tab-expose with is supposed to mimic mac-expose, meaning
three-finger-swipe-down for tabs vs. four-finger-swipe-down for mac
windows). One-fixed-two-swipe-down is obviously not three-down (boy, typing
gestures is confusing).

But on the other hand, and as was said in that thread, I have no idea how
gestures are implemented in Mac OS X, so it might be that they are simply
indistinguishable. I don't think so, because I believe to have set
three-finger-swipe-down to scroll to bottom. I don't use that one nearly as
much as the close tab gesture though.

Just checked. Yes, three-finger-swipe can be distinguished from
one-fixed-two-swipe.

And if you meant that the bug was Jitouch's fault because the gesture isn't
caught but passed down to Chrome, then yes, you might be correct. Still
doesn't change the fact that Chrome would then have two gestures for the
same command, or that it reacts to gestures that have another intention.

What I did was to install the lasted beta version of chrome and the case
was closed.
I can decide whether turn on 'Tab Overview' function or not
in "about:flags" at address bar

you guys who have the same problem can download chrome beta version here
