Has anyone else noticed this?
I use Google maps with my F1 and have found that during navigation screen gestures stop working after it's been running for a little while (seems to work initially, then just stops responding to gestures - maps continue to function fine). All that happens when you swipe from the side (to go back) or the bottom (to go to the recent apps or the home screen) is that the map moves about. It makes it really tricky to get out of the Map view (you have to pull down the top of the screen to access a notification or use the fingerprint button).
It's a bit of a nuisance.
Has anyone else seen this? Maybe you have a solution?

Yes, it happens to me as well, Actually, the screen will be locked and the google maps is displayed on top of the locked screen, so if you want to use the gesture navigation use your fingerprint scanner to unlock and the gesture navigation will start working. Just try and let me know if it works.
