Yes, exactly so.

After I made the multitouch gestures remappable, I set each one to
something unique and tested on my phone with androidinputtest.rpg and and
time I would rapidly drag with two fingers, all four of them would light up
like a Christmas tree. They don't seem to work as intended.

Disabling them makes two-finger drag in the inventory screen work much
better.
