Camera orientation wrong in windowed mode

[Michał Sawicz]

Reproducible with flo on internal screen when forced to windowed mode or external screen.

The camera app sets the X-Ubuntu-Rotates-Window-Contents=true flag in its .desktop file, which means we don't rotate it in staged mode.

When rotating in windowed mode, however, we need to counter-rotate the window contents (and report orientation to the app as appropriate).

The bug is two-fold:
a) viewfinder contents are rotated 90° to the right
b) camera UI thinks "bottom" is on the right edge

FWIW long term we should probably look at using things like https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#contentOrientation-prop to affect this.

Hi all,

Tested on FW: Aquaris M10 HD - Ubuntu 15.04 (r62) and Aquaris M10 FHD - Ubuntu 15.04 (r42) and the issue is still reproducible in these firmware versions. When you launch camera app for the first time in desktop mode, camera orientation is wrong.

Best regards.
