> Hi @freak.fahmi, This definitely looks like a bug - I’m getting the same thing. Could you please create a bug in the Bug Reports forum ([http://forum.katalon.com/c/katalon-studio/katalon-studio-bug-reports](http://forum.katalon.com/c/katalon-studio/katalon-studio-bug-reports))? It looks like Katalon 6.x has switched the Mobile.swipe function from taking relative end positions to absolute end positions. So, in your case, setting startY to negative is an invalid coordinate and you get an error. You can try using absolute coordinates instead: device\_Height = Mobile.…
