Description
With the last unstable the keyboard is not properly displayed in landscape mode.
For example http://scap.linuxtogo.org/files/8b32c41c2d79149e2a872f0096843148.png
In rare cases the keyboard is well displayed.

I can confirm this with latest shr-unstable. It's quite an issue for me, as I really like using the moko in landscape mode, it feels way better to use. Is there any pointer on where the issue could be?

- Priority changed from major to critical
This prevents users from using the phone in landscape, which makes using a web browser pretty annoying.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to upstream
Unfortunately it's an upstream issue that I left here for people to see (and not open 20 bugs a day about it) but it seems that it won't be fixed until the move to illume2... So I'm closing this one.

This can be worked around by changing the keyboard from "default" to "none" and back again in the illume settings.
Would it be possible to patch this into workaround into the shr version of omnewrotate, until it's fixed properly upstream? So when omnewrotate detects a rotate, it rotates the screen, then calls the appropriate illume bits to disable and re-enable the keyboard.
As this would add significantly to the utility of the phone (and hopefully isn't very tricky) I think it's worth doing.
is this still an issue?
i mean yes the illume kbd has some bugs, but one of them i count as a feature (the one that permits placing keys over the buttons for kbd switch and the dict suggestions)
deatails on this bug:
case: kbd not activated
xrandr -o 3 # or 1 doesnt matter. i used omnewrotate so the kbd wasn acitvated during
toggle kbd # kbd is fully displayed, but the witdh and height is not adjusted (short: kbd works and is fully displayed)
case: kbd activated
xrandr -o 3 # kbd all messed up (only the topmost line os displayed and the width isn't adjusted)
xrandr -o 0 #kdb in portrait mode is displayed correctly, but after having rotated once while the kbd was active it will be messed up in landscpae mode no matter if it was activated during further rotate or not. restarting e helps
i hope this helps
