XR Simulator's Pinch gesture is not recognized as one by XR Hands

I’m using XRI 3.0.1 and XR Hands package 1.4.0. If you run the Gestures sample from the XR Hands package. select hands in XR Simulator and trigger hands to do the pinch gesture, it is not recognized as one. Only some of the gestures are recognized by the system like open hand.
