No 5 figure swipe in newsstand

I have an iPhone habit of double clicking the home button to end any program and swiping up to end the app and get to home screen with no apps running.
Has anyone tried doing this in newsstand?
All I get is newsstand and no home screen after swiping..very strange

The inability to close Newsstand with a five-finger swipe has been driving me crazy. Glad to hear it's not just me.

Yes -- I notice that they treat Newsstand as part of the Springboard, as it has been in iOS 6, even though it behaves like an app now.

I agree; very bizarre.
