Notification drop down shade bug

Since I upgraded to 5.1.1 I have this problem when I try to clear the notification shade I have to click on the clear button a couple of times before it actually clears it...I factory reset and reflashed tar a few times already and the problem still persists..

Anybody else have this issue?

Reverse Notification Shade

Is there any way to reverse the notification shade so that it acts like stock Lollipop (with or without root)?

Basically just have it show the notifications only on the first pull down, then open the quick controls on the second. In the current setup, you cannot expand notifications until you swipe up for the quick controls to go away which is pretty frustrating.
