Auto hide the bookmarks sidebar on iPad in landscape

The new behavior of the bookmarks sidebar is frustrating me. I am hoping that someone knows a way to make the sidebar disappear in the landscape mode without tapping the bookmark icon again to close it. I don't see the logic in selecting a bookmark then having the sidebar stay open on 1/3 of the screen unless you manually close it. Please tell me there is a fix.

The answer is: Click the blue bookmarks icon on the top left. That will allow you to hide and show the sidebar.

OH, yes, frustration galore. Those IT gurus think they're helping with all their bright ideas but it's only thanks to our savvy and very kind fellow users that we know how to use them. When upgrades are put tgrough, Apple should have the courtesy - and decency - of letting us (the users who are not all tech savvy) know what changes they have created.


a big THANK YOU to all those who help us on the web!
