> Two notes on this:
>
> 1. Naturally, the GUI and the hardware need to rotate in opposite
directions; is it more clear to have the buttons match the software or the
hardware in this case? (I say software, as you describe, probably, but I
wanted to raise the point.)
>
We are not changing the hardware. Period. This is a simple and well-
placed fix to bring the software into agreement with the hardware.
> 2. Our latest designs for handheld mode and screen rotation (devised
with the help of our season of usability student, Alessandro Vona) include
a new GUI element which allows for selection of an absolute rotation,
rather than a relative 90 degree rotation action with each press. This
new design will obsolete this ticket.
This is nice, but, out of curiosity, what exactly is the use-case that
such non-90-degree rotations are envisioned for?
