I tried the upstream patch on xserver-xorg-input-wacom 1:0.36.1-0ubuntu1 on 18.04, this issue is fixed.
commit 31a5405f7d9405bc514585709161287b0c67386e Author: Jason Gerecke <killert...@gmail.com> Date: Mon Sep 9 15:32:17 2019 -0700 Change default gesture mode: touchpad=on, touchscreen=off A large number of users run the GNOME desktop which has its own gesture engine that performs actions on touchscreens. These gestures are much better than the ones we provide, so lets disable our engine by default for touchscreens. Note that GNOME doesn't do anything with touchpad gestures, so we leave them enabled by default. Note that this change will effectively cause a feature regression for users of other environments that do *not* have their own gesture engines (Cinnamon, KDE, MATE, XFCE, etc.). Users will want to add an xorg.conf.d snippet with `Option "Gesture" "on"` to bring back the functionality.
