I am streaming a movie on the iPad using **`MPMoviePlayerController`**.

When the user rotates the device to landscape, I animate it to **fullscreen**.

If the user then taps '**exit fullscreen**' or 'done', the movie animates back to its small frame (native behavior), BUT-- **the top bar (navigation bar) is gone**. Also, the visible views have moved upwards, behind and beyond the status bar.

Note that I haven't touched the top bar whatsoever. I have not manually hidden it.

I have tried regaining the navigation bar by sending `setNavigationBarHidden:animated` to the current viewcontroller's navigation controller, as well as to the tabbarcontroller's navigationcontroller. I put this in response to the `MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification` (it fires). No effect. If we rotate back to portrait, however, it's back instantly.

My questions are:

* Why does the top bar not return when full screen is exited by the user?
* How can we get the top bar back?

Best regards,
Timo

P.S. I will proceed to experiment with the weirdnesses described in [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4022441/mpmovieplayerviewcontroller-freezes-when-exiting-fullscreen) SO post. Might be related.
