Auto-swap does not work

I have a puppet and I want to use auto-swap for its left arm.

I have used Adobe Illustrator to create all the arm positions and I named them correctly. I have the leader/follower behavior turned on. I have draggable handles, one is the leader and the others are the folower. I have given all of them the same name. I dragged the arm Group into the triggers panel (into the create swap set area) and set the checker on „auto-swap“.
But when I switch to record-mode and try to drag the arm, it doesn’t work. If I try to move it, it just jumps into one stiff arm position, which does not move at all and also isn't able to bend. When I try to move the arm, the other (the right) arm starts to move, even though I'm not even near it with my mouse pointer. 
Has anyone observed similar behavior and know a solution for it?

I have the same issue. Was this issue ever addressed??

You seem to have the tagging and handle naming done correctly, though I need to see the full puppet to tell for sure. I can try to guess better if you can share more screenshots of all the layers, behavior parameters, and what exactly happens when you drag the wrist. It may be faster if you can export your puppet and share it on cloud storage like Dropbox/Google Drive/Creative Cloud.

Yes, I had tags on the followers. I untaged them. But unfortunately it doesn't help. 😞

I can't tell from your image, do you have any tags for elbow, etc. on the follower arms? Auto-swap definitely doesn't work with that/
