Well, if it’s my user error, then it’s a lot of other people‘s as well. If you’ve been following this thread, several of us are having the same issue. I’m finding that gestures to exit don’t work consistently. So, the three finger gesture that you mentioned, sometimes works but, but often does not. The same with the gesture that Brad mentioned. Swiping up with one finger sometimes works, but sometimes does not. It’s a weird voice over focus thing. I’m glad for you that you’re not experiencing it, but apparently several of us are.
