I'm starting to think it doesn't make sense to enter windowed mode on such a small display, even though you have a bluetooth mouse & keyboard paired.
It does make sense of course to show a mouse pointer and not display a virtual keyboard in response to the availability of those input devices , but going to windowed mode, I don't think so. ** Also affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Install latest rc proposed on a nexus 4. + Install latest rc proposed on a nexus 4. Attach a bluetooth mouse - this triggers windowed mode. Orient device in landscape Open weather app - which is locked portrait in the .desktop file Shell rotates to become portrait and there's no way to get it out of that mode easily. The shell should probably ignore the .desktop setting which says that an app is portrait only if it's windowed. + + + ------------- Ubuntu UX Input Request ------- + + Does it make sense for Unity to go into Windowed (aka Desktop) mode on + such a small screen as the Nexus 4? + + It does make sense of course to show a mouse pointer and not display a + virtual keyboard in response to the availability of those input devices. + But what about going into windowed (aka Desktop) mode as well? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1515977 Title: Shell rotates inappropriately in windowed mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-pocket-desktop/+bug/1515977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
