Landscape mode disables Bookmarks

Posted: Mon, 03/23/2009 - 07:39

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but when I turn the iPod touch to landscape the icons for Add a Bookmark and to access Bookmarks suddenly become disabled.  If I turn it back to portrait mode then they are enabled again.  Is there a reason they are disabled in landscape mode?

I encountered this issue also and interestingly enough discovered that the presence or absense of bookmarking capability in landscape mode may vary depending on which direction you rotate the device to enter landscape mode. (clockwise or counterclockwise) sometimes makes a difference. If you are in landscape mode and bookmarks are disabled, they may be enabled by simply rotating the device the opposite direction so you are again in landscape mode albeit 180 degrees from your original orientation)

That is an interesting observation. Actually, the bookmark icons should work in landscape mode in either direction now. This was fixed in the latest update (2.1.5) of the browser that can be downloaded from the App Store.

I just bought the app and this still happens. Glad to learn the workaround.
