Description

Something seems to have changed in the status bar plugin recently.

The way it used to work was that after pulling down the statusbar it would automatically pull back up into the hidden state.

Now it doesn't. Once activated it stays on the screen and covers my controls.

Also the StatusBar.isVisible property only reflects that the program has made the status bar visible - not the actual state. In other words if android itself has shown the status bar on a notification the plugin reports that it is hidden. This makes it impossible to watch for it being visible so I can call hide.

As a work around I am calling hide every couple of seconds - but it is a really ugly solution and is filling my debug logs with event messages.

Late Edit: Rolling back to version 2.0.0 seems to have fixed things for now. Also looking at things 2.0.0 seems to have a slight translucency to its color that seems to have gone now.
