IOS 8 Home button bug

After upgrading to IOS 8 when I press the home button once to exit an app it is registered as a double click and brings me to the multitasking app switcher instead of the home screen. This didn't happen on IOS 7 - I've got an iPhone 5. Any ideas?

iPhone 5, iOS 8

I removed the Swiftkey keyboard from my phone and it seems to have solved the problem! If you've downloaded yours, see if that works for you as well.

I deleted SwiftKey and rebooted my phone by holding down the sleep/wake and home button until it rebooted and I still have the issue on my iPhone 5. This is iOS 8, not 8.01. I'm afraid of updating given the issues others have reported today.


Bottom line, deleting SwiftKey doesn't work universally.
