Bug Description

As described above. I'm using a Thinpad X1 Yoga. Normally the screen orientation changes when I rotate the device or operate it in tent mode, for example. Unfortunately, this does not work if an external monitor (via HDMI) is connected to the device. In this case the screen orientation is fixed, so that e.g. a change into the tent mode is no longer possible.
It would be nice if the screen would still change its orientation despite the attached external screen.

It's also interesting that when I attach an external monitor to an external mode in tent mode, the screen orientation changes to standard mode and can therefore no longer be used in tent mode because everything is upside down. Should I open another bug report for this?
