Summary:
In previous versions of OS X (<10.9), Mission Control's gesture (swipe up 3 or 4 fingers) allowed the user to be a continuous gesture, this means that at the time of swiping-up you could cancel the swipe by quickly swiping down, and the user could play with this swipe back-and-forth without any limitation.

In Mavericks, this changed. Now Mission Control's gestures (at least the first one to revelate the desktops) is one-way only. You can only swipe one at a time. If you swipe-up you have to lift your hand and swipe-down. 

I think the User Experience loss for people that were use to this gesture is a big one. It is really frustrating, you kind of feel a loss of freedom. A limitation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mavericks (any DP up to 7)
2. Enable Mission Control touchpad swipe gesture.
3. Swipe-up (3 or 4 fingers as configured previously)
4. Without lifting nor moving your hand/fingers, try to swipe-down.

Expected Results:
Mission control would close and go back to actual desktop.

Actual Results:
Swipe-down doesn't perform. You have to lift fingers/hand.

Version:
OSX 10.9 Mavericks (up to dp 7)

Notes:
No workaround found.

Configuration:
It occurs in mavericks (up to dp 7). Previous OSX releases UX was ok.
