Multitouch gestures don't change orientation if screen is turned around

[Alexander Kallenbach]

As described above. If I turn my laptop to use it in portrait mode, the screen turns around but the orientation of the multitouch-gestures don't. If I then want to swipe through a website I have to wipe horizontally, not vertically, which would be logical and which is correct in landscape mode.

Thank you, is that about scrolling only? Do you use the gesture on a touchscreen or on a touchpad?

I've just tried scrolling. On pinch to zoom the orientation doesn't matter. Can I test other gestures? Is there an overview of available gestures?

I'm using the touchscreen of my ThinkPad X1 Yoga.
