I called Google and spoke with a Play Apps representative. They acknowledged it as a bug, along with some other issues -- hit "Play" while in the Play Store to see 2 black horizontal menu bars appear, for example. Really one of the worst, least thought out or tested "updates" I've ever seen Google implement. I hope the lead developer is now flipping burgers...I currently look after 20 tablets and will shortly be doubling that and suspect that my employer may need many more. I really need this facility. I am sure it is still n there but haven't found it yet.
Oops I just posted about this, didn't see this one...yep I'm seeing that same thing too.
