Windows switcher gesture overshoot #2632

What Happened?

Set up a three finger swipe for windows switcher.
In initial OS 8 I recall it worked from edge to edge, i.e. I could swipe from left to the right edge or backwards, but swiping too much to one side didn't result in selecting an app from the other side.
So if I had three apps, let's say Files, Terminal, Code, then swiping right I could select Terminal or Code, and when I reached past Code, the selection didn't jump to Files again, but "bumped into a wall". This was a lot easier to use, especially with only 2 apps opened, especially since the sensitivity of the gesture feels way too high and it's almost impossible to easily switch to the previous app.

Steps to Reproduce

Set up the window switcher to a touchpad gesture and use it

Expected Behavior

Swiping to the edge of the switcher shouldn't move the selection to the other side (probably using keyboard shortcuts it should still work like before).
And I'm not sure if there is something we could do with sensitivity/speed, it's possible it would be fine with the above change
