Galaxy tab s-pen's 'hover' feature blocks the ability to use zoom/pan gestures

hi i just got a new galaxy s10+ tab , coming from an ipad pro. I am noticing when the s-pen is near the screen, i am unable to do gestures like zoom/pan. This is annoying af. Is there any work around? This was not the case on the ipad pro. I am loving nomad and my new tablet but this is actually such an issue i might even return / exchange it for an ipad because of this. I tried turning off s-pen features but this didnt change the behavior inside nomad.

Any progress in this issue?
