Bug Description

This was brought to my attention by mzanetti on telegram:

On turbo in landscape Dekko's view is going into the 2 column layout as the screen width is greater than the 90gu. See the attached screen shot.

Is it intended that the view should do this on a phone?

My gut feeling is it shouldn't and should only happen on larger screen sizes that are better suited to this split layout. Some users maybe unhappy with this result where they have rotated their phone to get a wider view of an email to find it's now been squashed into the right half of the screen. Certainly not ideal in my opinion.

Could some other dimensions be taken into account here to determine the best layout for the form factor? i.e window height as well as width or available height/width of the virtual desktop when in windowed mode.

I'm just not sure forcing this view on mobile is the right thing.
