iOS 11 accessibility zoom issue

Since iOS 11 update, when I use the triple finger tap zoom option, the zoom only works on the top half of my phone. I can move the zoom box up, down, left, and right but it hits an invisible barrier around the center of my phone and won’t go any lower. Also it hits the right edge of my phone like normal but on the left it keeps going off screen. It appears to be thinking my phone is in landscape mode when in reality it is in portrait mode. Any suggestions on a fix? Thanks.

Try this workaround until the bug is fixed: resize your zoom window so that it is as wide as the screen. This allowed my zoom window to access all of my iphone's screen. The height of the zoom window did not seem to matter as a workaround.

This was the only solution that worked for me.
