orientation in iOS 8.1 simulator

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Hi Klaus,

I was getting this too (from some time ago). There is a delay in the
message between 'orientationChanged' to updating the
'mobileDeviceOrientation' value. So, what I do is:

on orientationChanged
        send "checkOrientation" to me in 20 millisec
end orientationChanged

on checkOrientation
        set the rect of fld "Testfield" to the rect of this cd
        put CR & CR & mobileDeviceOrientation() into fld "Testfeld"
end checkOrientation

You can fiddle with the 'send' timing but 20 seems to suit me. It has been
highlighted to the RR team as far as I am aware but don't know if it is yet
fixed (obviously not). Maybe you can update Bugzilla if you find it.

Hope this helps you out - Nice to return the favour to you at last from the
number of times you've helped me out :-)

All the best
