At times, keyboard is landscape while the app is portrait

[Omer Akram]

There are cases in which the OSK is landscape while the app we have opened is actually in portrait mode. The keyboard should inquire geometrical state of the context for which its going to appear.

This only appears to happen the first time the keyboard is shown in an application. After a little flick to get the keyboard to rotate, it is correctly locked to the orientation of the app.

This is related to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1187321 which needs to get fixed first. Basically the OSK should only rotate if the app supports rotation (not all do) and is currently rotated. It needs to stay in sync with the app and query the apps state not the device orientation.

per discussion, the plan is to use the contentOrientation property on QtWindow
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtgui/qwindow.html#contentOrientation-prop

The maliit qt plugin will need to change to stop reading from Screen. orientation and instead use this property. The sdk will be updated to properly set this property.

The SDK fix was made on 0729, can this be made a priority now?
