Bug Description

Please test the attached program. When in portrait mode, the dialog will appear with the correct orientation, but when the device is rotated to landscape, the dialog rotates 180 degrees from its original position.

Christian, this seems to be related to the same OrientationHelper bug I guess. Please mark it as duplicate if it does.

What bug are you referring to?

This issue by my guess is due to pop overs looking for an 'automaticOrientation' property in the root item to determine that they should rotate. If that isn't a MainView or an OrientationHelper there's no way it can succeed.

It may be possible to work around the issue by defining an automaticOrientation property in the Window, or by passing it as a property to PopupUtils.open.

With shell rotation I believe this won't be an issue anymore since none of our components use window.contentOrientation or rotation out of the box.
