(http://newkirk.us/om/Screenshot-4.png) known. :) kind of tough though. the kbd wants to expand the keyboard RETAINING aspect ratio. either its get you a bigger kbd or keep it the same height as in portrait and waste space OR it's make it all stretched (and that doesn't look too hot...). it's a choice between evils. > 4 - After #3 occurs, reverting to Portrait orientation leaves the keyboard > scaled to the larger size, centered, so that for Terminal keyboard only > keys from 2 to = are visible.
