I don't know the right terminology, but how do I stop being able to do this:

Ie remove gestures when you tap and drag your finger around the screen, the page does all sorts of moving which is annoying, as it interferes with buttons presses since if you move your finger slightly while pressing them, the screen drags instead of button pressing....

It doesn't appear to be linked to a `touchMove` event

Got it, albeit not a nice solution for applying to lots of touchscreens...

Set this switch in the browser shortcut:

```auto
--touch-slop-distance=100

```

This will change the gesture detection to 100px movement.
