Bug Description
OrientationHelper cannot be a root item. That's a very unintuitive and non-standard limitation which breaks the user's expectations. I don't think I've ever seem a QML item with such a restriction. Likewise for the hardcoded "anchors.fill: parent"
If you need a parent/child pair of items to get your work done you should hide it inside your OrientationHelper. Ie., make OrientationHelper be the "parent" and reassign its children to his child that actually gets rotated (tweaking OrientationHelper default property to be an alias of rotatedChild.

What does "a root item" mean here exactly? OrientationHelper can definitely be the root item of the QML file. It can also contain child items. Other than that I don't know what you might be trying to describe here.
