Hey Delia,
From the video, I think that the gesture registered as a swipe to close instead of a tap and hold to move gesture - maybe your finger slightly moved when tapping and holding, which triggered the swipe to close instead. As a result, I think it's fine to close this as WORKSFORME but please reopen it if I have misunderstood something
