Q: Multitasking Gestures occasionally fails (ios 8)

I upgraded to 8.1.1 and I haven't had the problem *yet*

Confirm - the problem still not solved in iOs 8.1.1. One more big for current Apple.

P.S. PDF search still don't work in Safari.

Give it time. I upgraded this morning. And multitasking crash tonight.

You;re right mine just crashed.... argh....

Well, they didn't as far and actually I don't see any changes for better with the new iOS 8 updates. But maybe, as it was with Vista, updates won't fix OS which is just badly built.

I can confirm it still happens on my iPad Air 2 with 8.1.1 installed.

Just add to that, was looking for solutions but clearly still a problem which I thought would have been sorted in the updates.  Using Air 2 with 8.1.1.  And now my wife's orig inal iPad mini is doing it since I upgraded her from 7 to 8.1.1 - fool that I am.

I have iPad air 2 iOS 8.1.1 and problem persists.

Apple, you can't solve this???????

I did a test .

After stops working , released the memory with battery application and returned to work .

I think the problem is related to memory.

i have testing this problem in IOS 8.1.2. in Ipad Air 2. After 3 days it worked fine. I thinked thait it was solved!!

But finally today it crashes. So it's not resolved in the new update...

Found this works for my Air 2 and wife's mini, crazy though it seems -  turn the iPad orientation upside down - then gestures work again. Weird but works.

IM still in the 8.1 version I was going to ask if the 8.1.2 release fixed the problem, but after reading the above comment I can see i didnt.

After some  experimentation i can say the problem is the rotation, I normaly use my ipad mini the upwards way locked and by using it that way the problem never shows up but, every time I unluck the rotation and rotate the screen the multigesture fails. have to work around it by pushing the notification down and up and the problem fixes until I "play" with the rotation again.

originaly tough that the problem was with apple apps because they are the ones I use the most, but after it sarted  happening in third party apps I tested the rotation one and it happens almost all the time.

this really needs a fix or at least some  acknowledgement from apple.

The problem persists on 8.1.2 ( iPad air 2). I don't believe

Hi, I'm using an iPad 3 on iOS 8.1.2 and the gestures are also not working correctly, when I use the 4/5 finger gesture to close an app it doesn't close, then if I reorient the iPad from portrait mode to landscape mode gestures then work, even if I return the orientation back to portrait mode gestures continue to work. I had hoped that Apple would have fixed this in there latest update, but sadly not. Maybe in the next update as there are a lot of entries and growing in this topic.

I don't think Apple cares to fix it. Still happening many updates after 8.0...
