Self unlocking in pocket

Hello!

My HTC one M7 constantly unlocks itself in pocket since horizontal swipe was introduced in latest updates.
Seems like the notifications turn the screen on and then my leg swipes the screen.

Is there any way to return to only vertical swipe as it was before without installing 3rd party software? Turning notifocations off helps but has evident drawbacks too.

I don't want to use pattern/face/password locks. What can help then?
3rd party locking vindget only?

Welcome to Android Central! Notifications make your screen turn on? That doesn't happen on my wife's M8--do you have some 3rd party lockscreen notification app installed?
