843390 - Landscape Youtube.com video playback will unlock homescreen into landscape orientation

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1209905

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: screenshot

When playing back a youtube video in landscape mode, it will unlock the orientation into landscape mode on the homescreen.    

see screenshot, it looks silly.   bb? radar to see what triage thinks.  im thinking tracking-b2g is more appropriate.

Repro:
1) install 1.01 nightly unagi build

Gecko  http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1/rev/140d06fc3397
Gaia   b8bd76b1110417ef43a39ae28a2eeffbce1eda11
BuildID 20130220070204
Version 18.0
2) go to browser or e.me youtube app.   launch it and click on one of the videos on the site
3) when video is playing, rotate phone into fullscreen landscape mode
4) hit home button, and exit back to homescreen
5) rotate the phone back to landscape, and verify the orientation has unlocked homescreen in landscape mode

Expected:
- video playback shouldnt unlock landscape homescreen mode

Actual:
- homescreen rotation in landscape looks silly.

Video also unlocks Dialer app

STR:
1. play any video from the video app, have device in landscape orientation
2. receive a call from different device

Expected:
- Dialer will appear in portrait orientation

Actual:
- appears in landscape (see screenshot)
- when answered call options "mute", "keypad" and "speaker" are not functional

As for other locked orientation apps:

- SMS, when launching Messages app from notification it displays in portrait mode (even though notification comes in landscape)

- alarm notification screen appears in landscape orientation also, it looks fine, not sure though if it supposed to be locked in the portrait

- Contacts, Email, Clock, Calendar, FM Radio, Settings.. work fine, open in portrait orientation

This isn't a blocker since it's not 100% reproducible (tested in triage) and also that you can get out of landscape mode (user not stuck) so this would be polish.

Wasn't there some reason we wanted the homescreen to be locked to portrait mode? Wasn't there a potential for broken UI somewhere?

No need to track here, when and if a fix is available we can consider for uplift to whatever train we're on.
