I'm having a problem with my Active Frame cover with my landscape application.

After updating my Dev Alpha to 10.0.9.1103 (and deploying using the Beta 4 SDK) as soon as the app is minimized the orientation automatically switches to portrait in the active frame window before the cover window fades in. 

When I remove the  QNXCover.qnxCover.setCoverFromWindow( cover.window );  line, the orientation remains in landscape when the app is minimized.

Any ideas how to keep the orientation landscape and have a cover window on my application ?

More Information:

I took the ActiveFrameSample in GitHub and made it run only in landscape mode by changing the following properties in the app.xml file to:

<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>

The sample app then exhibited the same behaviour as described in my post above.

Edit: Added photos to help show the issue

This is still occuring using the Gold SDK and OS 10.0.9.1675 on the Dev Alpha A

Hello @soul2k

May you clarify the scenario you would like to achieve?

To have a custom cover window for your application, you may look into the SceneCover class

Hi William,

Julian Dolce has informed me that the team is now aware of the problem and the fix will be via an OS update and the applications will not need to be recompiled.

I will post any further updates on this thread.
