Messages Problem in iOS6

[gs1893]

Sometimes when I get a new text message and slide to reply, instead of being taken directly to the conversation I am taken to the menu where I need to select the conversation. Also, when I leave the messaging notification on my lock screen and slide the message icon later, which should take me directly into the conversation, it again takes me the long list of conversations to select and not the conversation itself. Has this happened to anyone else? Messages seems a bit buggy in iOS6.
