Two separate issues have been discussed here:
1) Shell/App rotation rules for the windowed mode.
2) When to enable the windowed mode. Rules based on device size etc.
As I don't see these two depending each other there should be two
separate bug reports for these. This bug report is about the first one.
** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
Install latest rc proposed on a nexus 4.
Attach a bluetooth mouse - this triggers windowed mode.
Orient device in landscape
Open weather app - which is locked portrait in the .desktop file
Shell rotates to become portrait and there's no way to get it out of
that mode easily.
The shell should probably ignore the .desktop setting which says that an
app is portrait only if it's windowed.
- ------------- Ubuntu UX Input Request -------
-
- Does it make sense for Unity to go into Windowed (aka Desktop) mode on
- such a small screen as the Nexus 4?
-
- It does make sense of course to show a mouse pointer and not display a
- virtual keyboard in response to the availability of those input devices.
- But what about going into windowed (aka Desktop) mode as well?
+ ----------------- Desired UX ----------------------------
+ The shell should not rotate automatically when it's in windowed mode.
+ It should just ignore .desktop file orientations since in windowed mode it's
possible to show a portrait window in landscape mode and vice versa.
