Aaron, which tablet were you using here? I'm not seeing this on my N7.

Was using my Nexus 7 2013 (Android 4.4.2). I believe I hit this scenario occasionally after rotating the device on about:home. As you can see in the screenshot it looks like the logic got confused on the width for some reason and when it was drawn it was all squished.

Summary: Promo banner on tablets in squished → Promo banner on tablets in squished occasionally on rotation
I'll hunt for specific steps on Monday

Ah steps are trivial to reproduce actually

i) Hold the tablet in landscape and launch Nightly
ii) Rotate to portrait before the banner is shown on about:home

This is tracking Fx29 folks. What's the plan?

The plan is I still need to look into a fix, but I won't be able to get to this until next week.

I think this is enough of an edge case that it's not the end of the world if we ship this bug, but it would be good to fix it.

I found that this issue is caused by the fact that we have different padding values for portrait/landscape tablet views, and the padding isn't refreshed when the view is rotated.

An easy fix here would be to just get rid of that padding, or to make it the same value for both portrait and landscape. I've actually found it a bit awkward that the close button isn't all the way on the right in landscape mode on tablets, so maybe this would be a good fix.

Ian, what do you think?

I agree. Let's use the same padding for both :)

I kept the Widget.HomeBanner style because we're still using that to set some padding for a non-landscape tablet style.
