Rotation oddness with notation

Post by spinality »

Here are photos of the rotation behavior, as discussed in the announcement forum. Everything works as usual except when I start notation mode. The image is redisplayed upside down.

The task bar is moveable. What's the issue here?

The page is upside down. The task bar is on the bottom and upside down. To use notation, I need to place the iPad in non-rotated postiion. Notation is no longer editable when the screen is rotated to the inverted position.

This just changed. I presume it's related to the latest iGigBook update, due to the timing, but it might be something with iPadOS.

I have generally used my iPad in a rotated position to keep the power connector on the top and the pencil on the left. If I need to change this practice, then OK, but it's something different from how the system has worked for years.

Sorry, we aren't seeing this behavior. Make a screen video of the behavior, upload it to google drive or similar and post a link to the video. When we say video we mean a screen recording, not using some other device to video your iPad similar to what you did here with these "screen shots".

Curious. I’m using a recent iPad Pro. No other odd behavior noticed.

Here’s the link:

Thanks for the video. We are able to reproduce this. Until we release a new version, you'll have to rotate your iPad as a workaround.

Lovely, thanks. It’s obviously not a big problem, but I thought you’d want to know that something had changed.
