(v4) footer content in ion-menu disappears in split-pane

Ionic Framework
1

I am using ionic v4 and have built a side-menu + tabs app with an <ion-split-pane> for responsiveness

when the split pane is in side-menu mode, everything is as it should be, but when the application expands to full dual panes, the content of <ion-footer> is removed.

seems like either a glitch or built into a menu footer but i have not been able to determine anything or find any related posts.
Anyone facing a similar issure

app.component.html

<ion-app>
  <ion-split-pane>
    
    <ion-menu #mainMenu side="start">

      <ion-header>
        <ion-toolbar>
            <ion-title>Menu</ion-title>
        </ion-toolbar>
      </ion-header>

      <ion-content>
        <!-- MY MENU CONTENT -->
      </ion-content>
      
      <ion-footer>
        <ion-toolbar>
        <!-- EVERYTHING HERE IS REMOVED AT THE SPLIT-PANE BREAKPOINT -->
        </ion-toolbar>
      </ion-footer>
      
    </ion-menu>
    <ion-router-outlet main></ion-router-outlet>
  </ion-split-pane>
</ion-app>
