Double-Tap Pencil for Context Menu Bug (iPad)

[TonyO]

Thanks for integrating the double-tap gesture on the Apple Pencil to bring up the new iPad context menu, it's a welcome addition and feels super natural. 

There is a bug in the implementation though. When the menu is invoked using the pencil double-tap gesture, doing the gesture again while the menu is open will invoke another instance of the context menu, and stack multiple menu instances for every successive double tap gesture. 

I believe the expected function is that a second double tap gesture would dismiss the menu. 

This is present in 2.1.0.1703.

Hi @TonyO

Could you update to the latest beta 2.1.0.1730 and see if you can still replicate this behaviour?

Whoops looks like i was still a version back, weird I did a testflight update this morning and it still seemed to be working odd. Works now, doesn't dismiss but doesn't create extra menu instances, works good!

Thanks @TonyO

We are aware of the issue around it not dismissing and its been passed over to the devs for investigation
