jQuery Mobile apps which are launched from the iOS springboard [1] do not fill the whole screen. There is a white bar at the bottom, which is the same height as the iOS status bar. jQuery Mobile only fills screen_height-status_bar_height pixels, even though the status bar overlays the page.

If I then put the device into landscape orientation, the app fills the whole screen and looks fine. But when I go back to portrait, the height does not update and remains the same as in landscape mode.

[1] This requires in the header.
