2016-12-08 05:33:00 Kris summary phone app doesn't support landscape mode phone app doesn't support landscape mode rendering itself unusable in windowed mode
2016-12-08 05:33:12 Kris description On a phone running Ubuntu Touch, I would thing, phone app is the absolute essential. It should even more so be ready for every user scenario. But it isn't. It does not support landscape mode. When in staged mode, it just simply ignores the landscape mode and forcefully displays itself vertically. Well, at least it can be used, so fine. However, when in windowed mode, you can no longer make use of this. I use my Ubuntu Touch phone mostly in landscape windowed mode. I cannot make phone calls, because I can't even see the "call" button (attached screen from my Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition). Now, regardless whether or not it is anticipated by Canonical that users will like me use Ubuntu Touch on the phone in landscape windowed mode, it just should be possible! And it's not a big deal either, make the UI a bit more responsive. On a phone running Ubuntu Touch, I would think, phone app is the absolute essential.
