Description
Description:
On iOS, if you are in vrMode and want to exit you can rotate the device to portrait mode. A waring will appear instructing you to turn the device back to landscape mode. If you close this warning, the scene doesn't exit vrMode, showing instead the canvas in a small square in the upper left corner. Closing this dialog by pressing on the "x" button, instead of by rotating the device to landscape mode, should trigger exitVR mode on the scene.

Research direction
Start by locating the iOS "Insert phone into Cardboard holder" warning and the scene's vrMode/exitVR handling. Reproduce the issue on an iPhone in A-Frame 0.7.1, then verify that closing the dialog with its "x" exits vrMode and restores the scene from the small upper-left canvas state.
