Adobe AIR Development

So, both of my apps have auto-orientation disabled, and this works as expected - when I put the Simulator into portrait mode and select an app, it re-orients into landscape. However! If I then minimize my app and put the Simulator into portrait, my app is stretched to fit the new 600x1024 dimensions. I've got to assume that this is a bug (if my app is set to be landscape, it should always be landscape...), but I wanted to double check here first. Thanks guys!

I say definitely a simulator bug.

Actually, if you slide trom the bottom right corner  of the bezel towards the center of the screen, it will change the orientation to portrait from landscape and vice-versa.

Add an <aspectratio>landscape </aspectratio> in you app.XML file (Im pretty sure that fixes it on bb sim also)

Are you using the latest version of the simulator? I was having this same issues with previous versions of the simulator but not with the latest version. On 0.9.4, even if the simulator is running on portrait, when I click my app it switches to landscape (the correct orientation).

Actually, I have that in my XML file and it's still bugged out. I'm just banking on this being a Simulator issue.

Yeah, it switches, but if you go to your app, bring up the multitasking view, then swtich to portrait, it goes lame mode.

lame mode indeed. It does the same thing to the browser app so it's got to be a bug. In any case, I hope apps scale better on the actual device because when in multitasking view (regardless of orientation) apps look like cr@p.

Ah, I didn't bother to check the Browser. That all but confirms my suspicions, so there's one less thing I have to worry about...
