If you use the LockDown Browser iPad app, you may occasionally see grey shapes on your screen. These shapes are caused by a Guided Access security feature that permits a user to designate areas of the screen that they want to block from being accessed. Any area on the screen where the dark grey shape appears is rendered temporarily disabled to your touch.

With the release of version 5.0 of LockDown Browser for iPad, Guided Access is no longer needed, and so this problem can be avoided completely by upgrading. We recommend you visit the Apple Store and download version 5.0. You also might desire to disable Guided Access if you do not use that functionality for any other apps.

Until you upgrade to version 5.0, the only workaround is found below.
