Chenxia, mentorable? In particular, [good next bug]? We're running low. :)

I'm not really sure what the deal with this bug is - I suspect it has to do with our onConfigurationChange, but it was also present in the Chrome settings before it switched to material design (which is also something that we should consider doing).

Feel free to mark it as a [good next bug], but other than reloading the resource on onConfigurationChange, or maybe overriding some onMeasure() that gets called, I don't have many ideas on what this could be.

Unassigning myself, this requires some digging and trying out combinations of things to see if we can get the correct layout (portrait/landscape) to be loaded when turning the device in settings.
