Rotation

Hey, I've been having a problem with rotaition, and have been cutting it out of my apps. I'm easily able to arrange the menus too look great in portrait and landscape. If I launch the app in either Portrait or Landscape it looks perfect. The problem is if I rotate while using the app. The icons rotate, this is, they dont stay upside down or sideways, but they dont arrange correctly. Let say I have a Menu Button Screen with 4 buttons, arranged in grid. On portrait it has two butons on top and two below. On landscape it has all four in one row. If I launch in portrait and with the app open rotate to landscape, the icons rotate correctly but the four buttons dont stay on only one row, as they should and as they will when I open the app in landscape. It gives me the same display as in portrait. Is there anyway around this? Thank you

If you want them to stay in one row, pick the horizontal top / bottom, or vertical right / left option in the button layout menu, also allow scrolling so you can get to the other buttons if they go off the screen when moving from horizontal to vertical. Hope that helps. -Steve

Hey, thanks for your reply, what I wrote was just an example of what I mean when I say that rotation doesn't seem to be working well, it's not and actual screen. Im looking to understand if this is the way it happens with everyone or a "me" problem. And if there's anyway around it. Cheer.s
