I think this bug is related to a hardware failure/feature in the hinge mechanism. I could reproduce the auto rotation lock at a certain angle of the hinge.
This still does not explain why I could not change the orientation manually (why the "Orientation" setting in the "Display Settings" Menu showed no dropdown menu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2018297 Title: ThinkPad Yoga 460 Auto-Rotation stoped working after suspension To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2018297/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
