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.
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8
Sadly in iOS 8.1 beta there is still this post sjobs 0logic bug.
Go to Settings > Safari then select Show Favorites Bar (turn on)... then you will be able hide the bookmark by pressing on the blue book in landscape mode.....amazing how dumb programmers can get by "uninventing the wheel"
Hi.
Any word from Apple on this?
I know clicking on the blue bookmark icon will close the bookmarks sidebar in landscape mode, but I would prefer it auto close after selecting a bookmark.
Using an iPad Pro and want to relish in the extra on-screen real estate!
This worked! Can't select the star icon though....
Thank you! This helped. I have been so frustrated. Started spontaneously after the last software upgrade.
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!

TOP BLUE WAS THE ANSWER
Actually, my (VERY top) bookmarks icon was white. Still works, getting rid of it by clicking on it once. (My point, it may not be blue!)
