Simulating pinches on iPad-Simulator

Question

I'm currently trying to implement the handling of (2-finger-)pinches on an iPad display. Doing so I came across the problem that the fingers (represented by by two grey circles in the iPhone-simulator) won't show up in the simulator for iPad. Even though it is still possible to simulate pinches it's sometimes very hard to do so without seeing the fingers and it's even impossible to drag the fingers to a location of where the pinches should happen.

Is there a secret setting etc. to enable those grey circles?

Answer 1

To get the grey circles to work in iOS Simulator 5.1 for iPad, you have to set the scale to 75% (Cmd-2) or 50% (Cmd-3). Why? I don't know. Seems like a bug.
