Joe Bowser resolved CB-1169.
----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
This can't be fixed unless we refresh the screen every time we rotate, which
would cause us to lose state. I'm going to close this, because this is a
WebView bug that we haven't touched in year. :(
> position:fixed does not update its positioning context when you rotate your
> phone

> Key: CB-1169
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1169
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 1.9.0, 2.0.0
> Environment: Any android phone
> Reporter: Nick Retallack
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Trivial
>
> This page demonstrates the problem:
> http://nickretallack.com/experiments/phonegap/fixed.html
> Open this page in Android Browser and notice that when you rotate your
> device, the red square is always positioned in the far right corner.
> Now try running this page in phonegap. If you load the page in portrait and
> rotate your device to landscape, the red square stays in the middle of the
> bar. If you load the page in landscape and rotate to portrait, the red
> square stays offscreen. I've included a refresh link on the page so you can
> easily test this.
> I've verified the problem on many versions of phonegap on many versions of
> Android OS: Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS, and even JellyBean. Perhaps you need to
> change the way you poke the page to reflow when the user rotates their phone.
> --- Notes on Work-arounds
> One way to work around this would be to use absolute positioning on both the
> header and the scrollable content, and give the scrollable content
> overflow:auto. Unfortunately, most android phones do not support
> oveflow:auto so this would not work. There are scrolling plugins out there
> that attempt to work around this, but my content is virtually rendered
> (elements are inserted and absolutely positioned in the scrollable area only
> when they should be visible) and it does not play well with these plugins. I
> suppose I could modify one.
> Another work-around is to position the content from the left instead of the
> right, and update its position using JavaScript. I've implemented that
> work-around here: http://nickretallack.com/experiments/phonegap/jsfixed.html
