Can't dismiss notification on iOS 8

i have been having some issues to dismiss the notification bar that appears on the top of the screen. I used to dismiss it by swiping it up. After I upgraded to iOS 8, my gesture doesn't work when I'm using some app like Facebook and get a notification from another app like Whatsapp. I swipe up and the notification freezes and won't go away until I press the home button, wich weirdly makes the notification go away but won't bring me back from the app to the home screen. This is really annoying. Someone else had this issue?

I am using iPhone 5S. Didn't upgrade any of my other products to iOS 8 yet.

this is the very first time I come to the community forum to complain about some issue on any of my apple products, wich have never let me down (except for minor issues wich I resolved quickly by searching for it in here) until now.

I also had this problem when I updated my 2day old iPhone 6 to IOS 8. But my wife noticed that when the notification bar got stuck, the screen was zoommed in. I told her I set the display to zoomed. So when we switched back to the standard display mode IT GOT FIXED! Now whether I use zoomed or standard display, the notifications bar is normal, I can swipe it back up. It worked for my phone and hope it helps everyone else's!
