Splash Screen Stretching

Besides the alliteration which makes the subject great, has anyone seen this issue?

I've made a 640x960 splash screen. It looks great for a second, then stretches too tall. My guess is that this is LiveCode's fault and the first second is the OS using the default image and the stretched version is LiveCode incorrectly placing the image while it handles preOpenCard etc handlers.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, know of any workarounds, etc. or whether this should be a LiveCode bug request?

I also found a hack around this one. Set the Standalone Build Settings to hide the status bar. Then, in an opencard handle, use iphoneShowStatusBar to re-show it. It means during the launch screen the status bar is hidden, which is a bit odd, and once the app is running the user sees the status bar slide down. While strange, it's better than the mid-splash stretch, I think.

Hope this gets fixed, but also hope this helps anyone else with this issue!

Im doing the same thing, and its a work around. Hopefully this one will get fixed soon as Id like to be able to start with the status bar.
