iOS 5 and 6 ChildBrowser issue with PhoneGap 2.1.0

I rebuilt my application with PhoneGap 2.1.0 in order to fix the orientation problem. This now works fine, so thanks for that.

But.

When the app is in landscape, and the ChildBrowser is opened, on closing it, the application takes up only (roughly) 3/4 of the screen. Rotating back to portrait and then to landscape mode and all is well.

This issue does not occur in portrait mode.

I have seen this issue on both the iPad 1 (iOS 5) and iPad 2 (iOS 6).

I have the following code in my config.xml for the ChildBrowser:


<gap:plugin name="ChildBrowser" />
<feature name="http://plugins.phonegap.com/ChildBrowser/3.0.4" />

Sure.

App id is 223935.

Be in landscape mode on an iPad, the panel on the right will display 'Aachen' and press on 'Stadt Infos'. This will open a Wikipedia page in the ChildBrowser. Simply close it again (press 'Fertig') and you will see the issue.

Lovely, but not very useful for me since PhoneGap Build doesn't support 2.2.0.

So that's the next quesion, when will PhoneGap Build support 2.2.0?
