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. ** Affects: messaging-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to messaging-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1599184 Title: When switching to 2-column landscape mode, current conversations are closed Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
