Help Camera App Opening From Lockscreen

Newbie
Have the Turbo and can't figure out how to stop the camera app from opening from the lock screen. I tried both enabling the camera to open with twisting the phone and disabling. I am running the latest update 21.44.12. I am using Nova Launcher which is updated to the latest version. I don't use the camera much and find it quite annoying that when unlocking the phone the camera opens. Any setting that I can disable so that camera will not open??
 
If I am not mistaken, the camera opens from the lockscreen when you slide your finger from close to the right edge toward the left. To show you that the camera is about to be activated, a white-ish rectangle forms at the right edge and slides to the left, showing that this is about to happen.

So, when you unlock your phone, do not slide that way. Slide your finger from the center of the display toward the right.

I don't think that you can disable this behavior on the stock lockscreen - perhaps you can, but I know of no way. But there are third party lockscreen apps on the Play Store. Maybe trying one of those will be a better choice?
