1184572 - There is no transition to landscape mode when the browser is loading a page

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System::Window Mgmt, defect)

Description

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

STR
1. Load a webpage
2. While the page is loading, flip the phone horizontally

Results
The browser gets flipped to landscape mode, but no animation occurs. However the animation is correctly displayed if you switch back to portrait mode (even if the webpage is still loading). If you're in a low data coverage area, you can repeat the action multiple times (while loading) and see that every landscape transition is missed and every portrait one is executed.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: A missed transition that makes an high-phone look like sluggish, whereas the portrait mode transition is nicely handled.

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Not a blocker according to the blocking criteria but important to fix.
