Bug Description

in windowed mode, the viewfinder is currently fills the screen in the vertical orientation. If the window is made smaller the controls incorrectly rotate like the app thinks it's in landscape mode and bottom edge moves to the right.

Lets discuss what to do here, but some options:

1) resizing the window shouldn't change where the controls are located or the orientation
2) resizing should make the viewfinder fill the available space. Should it use the largest vertical or horizontal dimension, or be fixed to the physical orientation of the phone?
3) Should we not allow window resizing and instead lock the window size to the actual size of the viewfinder?
4) If the phone is rotated, should the window size automatically change to reflect the phone orientation?

1) is a bug lower in the stack
2) you can't fill the entire available space without cropping the viewfinder
3) yes we should do that, however it limits the photo roll's possible sizes, which may be an acceptable tradeoff
4) maybe
