Hey guys, This may be by design. Consider this. With the exception of Braille screen input, everyone the world over uses their iDevice with the screen facing them. When you tilt the iDevice away from you, VoiceOver says, "Landscape mode, Home button to the left." This is because if the screen were facing you in this orientation, the Home button would, in fact, be to the left. If you put the device in tabletop mode at this point, the device still thinks the Home button is to the left. Therefore, dots 1, 2, and 3 are closer to the Home button, while dots 4, 5, and 6 are closer to the other end of the device.
If you do the workaround by starting with the screen facing away from you, then going into tabletop mode, then tilting the screen toward you, and finally, back into tabletop mode, the tilting toward you has reoriented landscape mode with the Home button to the right. That's what causes the dots to orient "correctly" in tabletop mode. Hope this makes sense. It's a bit too early for me to be analytical. LOL Cheryl Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 26, 2014, at 3:33 AM, RobH. <bobs...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Dot positions: They can be backwards, but it is automatic, and the fix was > covered a little earlier and is good.
