msgestureend event does not fire

Question

In my metro app,I was using some MSGesture events to do dragging on some "elements" and it was working fine.

Then I had to add another swipe feature on the "container" of these elements and did it in a similar manner.

The problem is that it works fine sometimes but after a while the "MSGestureChange" events are fired but "MSgestureEnd" isn't fired.

I can't understand why this is happening as the gesture must always end with a "MSGestureEnd" event.

This is the basic code I was using for both the gestures.

container.addEventListener("MSPointerDown", onPointerDownContainer, true);           container.addEventListener("MSGestureChange", onGestureChange, true);        container.addEventListener("MSGestureEnd", onGestureEndContainer, true);

child.addEventListener("MSPointerDown", onPointerDownContainer, true);
     
child.addEventListener("MSGestureChange", onGestureChange, true);
                                                                  child.addEventListener("MSGestureEnd", onGestureEndContainer, true);
