Can't zoom when Lock Rotation is on #9

When Lock Rotation is on and you rotate your screen you can't zoom. This may seem like an edge case but for everybody who reads in bed it happens all the time: when you turn around to lay on your other side or when you switch Lock Location on.

For me, and everybody else who uses his iPad mostly in bed to read, this fix (like all fixes actually) is worse than the bug. I agree that the bug is annoying but I also understand that the only people who see it are designers, developers and testers; normal people rarely change the orientation of their device, especially when the layout is optimized for every resolution. I have no problem at all explaining that to my clients.

It would be nice if fixes like this were not announced as the definite solution and were tested more thoroughly, I really hope people don't implement this on their photo site, for me their site would be less useful.

Just noticed this issue as well. Would be really nice if there could be a fix for this.
