Nice! Thanks for the detective work. I’m sure I can reproduce this now and I can already guess what is causing it…
iPad operated laying flat on its back ( I know… it sounds strange)
Not strange at all…this is the critical hint. iPhones and iPads can return a lot of information about their orientation to the developer at any given time, and we have to react to that information. For example, here at the states that iOS can returns for the device orientation at any given time…
UIDeviceOrientation.FaceUp
UIDeviceOrientation.FaceDown
UIDeviceOrientation.LandscapeLeft
UIDeviceOrientation.LandscapeRight
UIDeviceOrientation.Portrait
UIDeviceOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown
and…drumroll please:
UIDeviceOrientation.Unknown
As developers, we are constantly having to react to the different states and “do stuff” with the interface. I think I’m not reacting to UIDeviceOrientation.Unknown the right way on that top toolbar and the button’s target hit area is somewhere else on the screen.
I can fix this (IR-477)…especially when you’ve done 90% of the sleuthing.
Thanks again!
