As photo above, if i charging, swiping is not possible
this charging port inside cabin, is fine
PS. SailfishX
Someone said this is charger problem, shouldnt be, because every aircraft got this own charger inside cockpit, this is airline property, so I have at least tried 1x aircraft, with different socket or charger

Seems to be that the charger inside of the a330 / a350 is a bad charger, who put to much noise on the powercord. Put a ferrite ring on your powercord an it would be better

Use the search function of this site!
That's a different issue, the one you posted was caused by the charger. Unless you consider the plane as a "charger"...

You should try a Concorde. It's far better. And you wouldn't have more swipe problems. And three in the cockpit maybe be a little out dated, but it's better for the chatting.

Problem still exist with 2.1.4.14 
This is the socket of airbus a350-900
I once had a cheap charger in use, which causes some abnormal behaviour while using swipe gestures. The phone is unusable then. That charger made also some strange noises. I think it's a lack of galvanic separation in addition to some frequency particularities of the used charger and so it's no software issue. I would try an old fashioned power supply unit with a transformer instead of a electronic charger w/o galvanic separation, and also avoid direct "USB" plugs as long as you're not sure if the 0V-connector is grounded.
Inspired by writing the above I searched and found the little f*er. Made some measuring with an ordinary old Metex DMM, and additionally some other electronic chargers. One can find very different AC-Voltage levels to ground. The little bastard gave me 80V (this is not dangerous as long as the electronic is working fine, because the current, if any, shortens the circuit. But even when touching ground and the USB-connector with my bare hands, the voltage only lowers down to 30V. It's also not unexpected, because there's no galvanic separation between the input and the output voltage.)
Some other chargers showed AC-levels to ground between 10 and 50V. Basically, the capacitive touch screen technologie uses the current through your finger, that's the reason why you can't use it with insulating gloves or just a piece of wood. So I guess, an additional circuit built from charger to ground using your fingers might confuse the PCT-screen controller.

Are the cockpit devices original? They look a bit screwed. Contact airbus service to solve the problem.

Maybe there is magnetic field (for some reason) in Airbus cockpit and that can make your descripted weird things to phones and also other gadgets. That occur my mind. If that magnetic field is incorrect, maybe something other disturbance in cockpit. I can't imagine anything else for this weird behaviour.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :-D - the airbus not the phone... Sorry couldn't resist.. At first I thought you meant a joke but after reading the thread I would say smth in the cockpit is interfering with the phone when charging since the cockpit is supposed to be differently insulated then the rest of the plane I could imagine that some frequencies are influencing the phones hardware.
Maybe swiping takes more cpu power and interference could then cause side effects?

sorry the posts about usage of smartphones plughed into the cockpit of an airliner always cracks me up.

Maybe Jolla needs an Airbus for testing ;-)
fblm ( 2017-12-06 07:46:26 +0200 )editIt's definitely the plane having an issue :D
tortoisedoc ( 2017-12-06 08:25:19 +0200 )editNo idea how cause that problem, I tested in several 330 or 350, if I charging inside cockpit, the swipe gesture become abnomal! but inside cabin is fine!
TMavica ( 2017-12-06 09:43:53 +0200 )editCheck the voltage of the plane's USB port. Maybe also high frequencies from generator are not filtered well enough and interfere with the voltage/current stabilizer of the phone.
