Description

App uses Single Page Architecture. All HTML is loaded from a remote server into a div tag on the page. A header bar at the top of the page is fixed and is outside the div tag used for loading the remote HTML.

With StatusBarOverlaysWebView=false in config.xml, app starts correctly in simulator with the status bar above the page header bar.

Sequence of steps:

1. Load HTML with a <video> tag for some mp4 video
2. Start playback of video
3. Simulate device rotation using Simulator->Hardware->Rotate Left
   • Video automatically switches to fullscreen and fills the entire simulator screen
4. Simulate rotation back to portrait mode using Simulator->Hardware->Rotate Right
5. Click "Done" to exit native player
6. NOW THE STATUS BAR COVERS THE WEBVIEW - WebView is now pushed all the way up and behind the status bar.

Problem has only been noticed when recovering from fullscreen video playback involving device rotation.
