Might worth to file a bug on this one.

Maybe it's an eog specific bug?

I'm not sure if I can reproduce this or if this gesture is just really
hard for me to do. anyway, one finger swipe from the left edge brings
up the app switcher, and one finger swipe towards the hot corner
brings up the overview, so I don't think that's too critical :)

It is generally known that the OSK isn't quite good right now, however
I couldn't find a bug for this specific issue. You probably want to
file it.

File a bug.

Thanks for testing this.
When you file bugs related to touch support, please add the word
"touch" in their whiteboard in gnome's bugzilla.
Similarly, you can use this search to see touch related bugs in gnome bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr;query_format=advanced;status_whiteboard=touch;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=NEEDINFO

Also, this is something that really should be discussed upstream and
not downstream, as Fedora doesn't do anything downstream that is
touch-specific.
