Public bug reported:

messaging-app.qml has the following code:

        onColumnsChanged: {
            // we only have things to do here in case no thread is selected
            if (layout.columns == 2 && 
!application.findMessagingChild("emptyStatePage") && 
!application.findMessagingChild("fakeItem")) {
                layout.removePage(mainPage)
                emptyStack()
            }
        }

This causes the current conversation to be closed when the user rotates
the phone (on a large-enough screen to go to two-column mode), and that
can be very annoying. The APL can already take care of moving pages to
the correct column and correct place in the stack when needed, so this
code should be removed. Also note that emptyStack() will again call
layout.removePage(mainPage).

I know there is some difficulty with making the BottomEdge work as
specified (with the BottomEdge moving between columns depending on the
layout), so that is something that must be fixed first.
