Trackpad "Swipe between pages" randomly toggles off

This issue happened to me when using the MX Master3S on OSX (also I found a reddit thread about it with a few other users reporting the same issue). I am pretty sure it has to do with how LogitechOptions+ software controls how the MX Master uses gestures. Very annoying when going back to use the Macbook trackpad and the back/forward swipe does not function unless toggled back on.

In fact it bothered me so much I eventually returned the MX Master as Logitech support was no help to fixing the issue.

I have just recently purchased the MX Master3S again (still waiting delivery) because I really liked the ergonomics of the mouse but I see that the errors of software have still not been fixed; I am going to try using third party software to control the mouse instead of LogitechOptions+ software and hopefully that will solve this issue. Some of the third party software that can replace LogitechOptions+ are called BetterMouse and SteerMouse. Although they both cost money; there are trial versions to see if they work properly.

Fingers crossed that one of those third party options work!

MacBook Pro M1 Pro (16" 2021 model), most current version of macOS Ventura 13.0.1. I also have a Magic Trackpad 2 and Logitech MX Master 3S.

I frequently swipe between pages or swipe right/left in apps for functions like going back/forward, delete, unread, archive, flag etc (like in Safari, Notes, Messages, Mail). Maybe 2-3 times per month I can't swipe like I usually do in Safari, Notes, Mail etc. I try on my MacBook Pro, Magic Trackpad 2, and my MX Master 3S (back/forward side buttons are mapped the same) but it does not work. When I go into Trackpad settings > More Gestures, I see that Swipe between pages is toggled Off. I simply turn it back to Swipe or Scroll and everything works again... But then it happens again randomly after a few weeks.

Has anybody else noticed this behavior? It is not so disruptive because it does not happen SO frequently, but I cannot figure out anything I am doing that causes it to this!
