iOS Simulator not showing Home button

There are several questions that will resemble to this one but their solution is not quite what I'm looking for.

I have a Retina MBP (1920 x 1200), and previously I was able to run iOS Simulator 7 and simulate different devices (retina or not) and for all of them I was able to see the Home button. Now, with iOS simulator 8, I can no longer see the Home button. I don't want the Command-H functionality, I want to see the button because what I'm looking for is the orientation of the device (left, right, bottom or top). Without the Home button being visible, I cannot tell truly what orientation the device has. I thought my Retina Mac was enough for the Home button to be displayed but I guess is something else.

Is there a way to show the Home button? or is something that my Retina MBP can no longer display.

p.s. Please, don't answer with "Why do you need/want to see the Home button?" if you don't have a solution for the question I'm asking.

If you have a Retina Display macbook, you must set set the display to the highest resolution to see the iPad/iPad Retina frame on the simulator.

This answer from: iOS Simulator v5.1 window is missing device frame and Home Button
