I don't have the device, quote from IRC:

I can't give an example of a 'landscape app', but whoever has a larger screen can probably find one. Essentially:
a) starting a new landscape app will flip to landscape mode (if shell was i portrait)
but
b) switching to (focusing) an already open landscape app will not (shell stays in portrait)

Generalizing a bit, I also believe orientation requested in the .desktop
file should be ignored (at least to some degree?) in windowed mode.

Title:
  Nexus4 Shell rotates inappropriately in windowed mode

Status in The Avila project:
  Confirmed
Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  New
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Install latest rc proposed on a nexus 4.
  Attach a bluetooth mouse - this triggers windowed mode.
  Orient device in landscape
  Open weather app - which is locked portrait in the .desktop file

  Shell rotates to become portrait and there's no way to get it out of
  that mode easily.

  The shell should probably ignore the .desktop setting which says that
  an app is portrait only if it's windowed.

  
  ----------------- Desired UX ----------------------------
  The shell should not rotate automatically when it's in windowed mode. 
  It should just ignore .desktop file orientations since in windowed mode it's possible to show a portrait window in landscape mode and vice versa.
