IOS 8 won't let me "pinch in" to close my email app when in landscape view

IOS 8 won't let me "pinch in" to close my email app on iPad 3, unless I'm in portrait view (iPhone view). If I am in landscape view, "pinch in to close" does nothing, so I have to rotate my ipad to a portrait view, then it works. This is not the behaviour that was in ios 7 or previous.


Anyone else having this or is experiencing this?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 8

IIt is still continually doing it. I don't want to continually do what you suggested, which is the equivalent of a Microsoft reboot...I want Apple to recognize the problem and fix it, if others are experiencing it. The problem always happens in landscape view of my email - I cannot pinch it closed until I rotate the device to portrait position. Very annoying.

I checked my iPad 4 running IOS 8.0.2 and it pinched closed in either view. Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.
