Multitasking Gestures occasionally fails (ios 8)

i just upgraded to iOS 8, now gestures fails occasionally when in apps. I try to swipe up with four fingers, and pinch wih four fingers, but none of them works. I had to use the button to exit. Did anyone else experience this?

For what its worth, my gestures too were failing on a random basis, pulling down notification and putting it back made gestures work again as did switching gestures on and off in settings. However, I decided to do a set as new via itunes, choosing not to restore from a backup when it restarted, so i had a complete fresh new ioad air. i then logged on to icloud and manually re downloaded my apps, so far, 5 days in, no failing of gestures at all, seems to have resolved itself, so far so good, lets see what 8.1 update brings on monday.
