This is expected. We never support rotation-free task manager.. do we?

When user enters into task manager after using a rotatable app, card view is rotatable then.
ex: using gallery app and then activate card view by long pressing home button.

If we don't support rotation in task manager, I think it must be consistent.

I can reproduce the issue - task manager does rotate when the active app was not orientation locked, and doesnt when the active app was locked. I'm pretty certain this falls under bug 1068925, which is assigned to Etienne. I'm marking as a dupe, please re-open if you think this is a different case
