JQM 1.4: Preserve setting for height in viewport meta tag on page change

I just found out that JQM 1.4 rewrites the viewport meta tag on every JQM page change.

This creates some problems for one of my apps that needs the viewport height set to device-height - 20px (because of the statusbar plugin for Cordova/Phonegap 3.3). This is done in my app via jQuery and works fine on the first page. But after a page change JQM rewrites the viewport meta tag and thus breaks my fix.

So is there a way to have JQM preserve the viewport height parameter? Does it need to be rewritten on every page change?

I also tried to (re)set the viewport height parameter in the pageshow event for every page, but then the page transitioned to jumps after showing, so this is currently not an option.

BTW: Setting no height attribute in the viewport meta tag is not an option either since this will cause the native keyboard control on IOS break the fixed positioning of a tabbar at the bottom. Sigh.

Thanks!
