Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[tablet] twitter.com in portrait mode doesn't adjust the content

:: Steps To Reproduce

1. With a InFocus Firefox OS tablet
2. Go to https://twitter.com/mozilla
3. Put the device in portrait orientation


:: Expected Result

See the content scaled for the width of the viewport. An Android galaxy tab browser is receiving the mobile version of twitter.

:: Actual Result

The content is cropped out because it's too large for the window. I guess we are receiving a desktop version.

:: Additional Information

Software Version: 1.4
Device Information: InFocus

The Firefox OS user agent for tablet has the following pattern.
 Mozilla/5.0 (Tablet; rv:30.0) Gecko/30.0 Firefox/30.0

(version numbers are not relevant)

it's not a "desktop version" - it just fails to reflow to take the new width into account. If you load it in portrait and rotate to landscape mode, you'll have too short lines.

I guess they listen to an orientationchange event on the window. Pending a decision in bug 920734, we don't support that - they'll have to do screen.addEventListener() and perhaps add moz-prefix to the event name. I'm not sure if things are prefixed or not.

Yep, it's prefixed. So something like:

screen.addEventListener("mozorientationchange", handleChange)

Not tracking as platform-rel due to platform.
