Hi friends,

I'm not getting it! Not sure if this is my fault or the simulators? 8-)

OS X 10.10, LC 6.7, Xcode 6.1

I have a stack 320*480 px with only one card with one field and this script of cd 1:
..........................................................................................................
on orientationchanged
   set the rect of fld "Testfield" to the rect of this cd
   put CR & CR & mobileDeviceOrientation() into fld "Testfeld"
end orientationchanged

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

on preopenStack   
   set the fullscreenmode of this stack to EMPTY
   ## Don't care yet! 
   ## Do I have to?
end preopenStack
..........................................................................................................
It starts nice in PORTRAIT mode in iPhone and iPad simulator but
when I select "rotate left/right" in the simulator menu I see what I exspect 
ONLY in the iPad simulator, means the display of the stack rotates!
And I see the correct orientation in the field.

But nothing happens in the iPhone simualtor, no "orientationchanged" 
gets fired, LC does not rotate and even the simulator itself actually doesn't!?

Anyone seen this? Is the simulator still a bit buggy? It's me, right?
Do I have to make any other setting to make this work for iPhone, too?

I just want to create layouts for both orientations for iPhone and iPad
in my app and this is just a simple test stack, no deeper meaning, just another
newbie on mobile development :-)

Any insights welcome, thanks a lot!


Best

Klaus
