Hi MacRumors community!

I'm trying to optimize a WIP website for iPhones. Since I don't own such a device, I use the iOS Simulator for testing.

During my tests I encountered a IMO strange behavior: When on iOS 7.0 and going from portrait to landscape view, Safari displays the website in fullscreen mode.

Refering to Maximiliano Firtman's Post about iOS 7 bugs, this behavior MAY occur.

[...] if you go portrait and then landscape again, sometimes, you will get full-screen without scrolling [...]

The websites I tested so far go ALWAYS in fullscreen. As someone not very familiar with the iPhone, I'm uncertain:

Is this fullscreen switch reliable?

I'm not asking to programmaticaly force a fullscreen mode. (What seems to be a popular yet unconvertible demand.) I just want to know, if iPhone and iOS 7.0 users expect UI elements to hide on an orientation change to landscape view.

Thanks for sharing your experiences in advance!
