Bug ID: 506815
Summary: Tablet mode enables itself when the laptop is rotated
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.2
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a 2-in-1 HP Spectre x360 which can be used both as laptop and tablet.
Tablet mode correctly enables when I open the keyboard to the point the device
becomes a tablet. When using it as a laptop, however, tablet mode incorrectly
turns itself on (and disables both keyboard and touchpad) when the laptop is
sat sideways. While this is definitely a "room-heating spacebar" kind of
scenario, I use the laptop while on the sofa and I often have it sideways,
which makes it impossible to use.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a 2-in-1 laptop with an accelerometer
2. While having the keyboard open in "laptop mode", turn the device sideways
OBSERVED RESULT
Tablet mode is enabled.
EXPECTED RESULT
Tablet mode is not enabled since the device is not acting like a tablet.
