OK, this is all I was trying to get at - the display is corrupted - that's
your problem. OK.

Usually a "problem" on this group is a crash or not knowing how to achieve
specific functionality and I was not understanding how this orientation
change was adversely effecting your app's functionality.

If I understand you correctly now, there is no adverse effect (your app
doesn't crash for example), but you don't want it to happen because it looks
bad to you. Correct?

Well if that's the case, I don't know. If no one else has an answer for you,
I'd check b.android.com and see if it's filed as a bug and if not, maybe
file one. Of course, I suspect this is intended behavior - the app on top is
what determines the current orientation and the phone can only have one
configuration at a time, so the top-most one takes over - I think.

P.S. - Even if your app is never intended to be used in landscape, you still
have to handle properly restoring your app's state, since your app will go
through the same cycle via other means (like pressing Home and coming back
to it a while later). So you may just have to bite the bullet here and
handle the orientation change.
