Two-finger swipe to navigate back & forth isn’t working (or works sporadically).

Sometimes two-finger scrolling stops working altogether, until Safari is quit.

Navigating “back” to Google search results doesn’t work. Nor do Google searches show up in History.

And the worst—Empty tabs won’t close unless they are dragged out into a new window or a page is loaded first.

Get the same, sporadically stopping behaviour, in Safari 7.0 with single finger swipes. Starts woking again with a quit and restart:(

Nope. It works perfectly for me.

Overall, I can't figure out what's going on with your machine. It's certainly not working like it should.

What is a "single finger swipe"? A single finger only moves the cursor.

Thanks... What a helpful post...
 
Never mind... the issue with closing tabs has been fixed, but about 10% of the time, two-finger swipes to navigate back still fail & cause scrolling to stop working. Totally removing Glims doesn't help either. Any ideas??
 
I have the same problem with the two-finger swipe, today it seems to freeze every time i try to go back

I have no extensions or add ons installed, except for 1password
 
I have the swipe back issue but it just started happening today, and I upgraded to Mavericks right at public release. Because of that, I was looking around for other things that have been updated recently. I only had two other apps open which I closed, activity monitor and evernote, and the problem went away! If I figure out which was causing it, should it happen again, I'll post back.
 
I get issues with the latest safari too. I am on lion though. issue I sometimes get is that i cannot all of a sudden scroll up and down on my page and its only macrumors i have noticed it happens in. No other site gives me problems. I try and re-fresh the site and that still doesn't help. I have to end up closing macrumors and restarting it again.
