With PR1.0, regardless of how I hold the phone in terms of orientation, it would close the app if I swipe down the app according to the app's orientation. (if i remember correctly)

But with PR1.1, it seems to ignore the app's orientation and just goes by whatever the phone's current orientation is in terms of deciding what is a top-down swipe.

e.g. If the app is a landscape app (eg, while playing a video), if I hold the phone vertically, it will close the app if I swipe top-down (which is actually a left-to-right swipe for the app) So it ignores the app's orientation.

Is this what others are noticing?

It makes me confused which way I should be swiping to close down the app. Bit dumb really.
