[Bug 1465539] [NEW] Is it OK to change the app layout to vertical?

 

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded my Android phone to 5.0. Attached please the captured
picture. The running apps on android are displayed in a vertical
structure, which seems to me more reasonable since I can see some of the
content of the apps without opening them. For example, if an SMS comes
to the phone with a code which is needed for authentication on payment,
I do not need to open the app and I can know the content of the SMS,
then I can switch back to my app to input the code.

Currently, our design shows all of the app in the horizontal way. A user
has no way to view some part of the content without opening it. Also, it
is good to have "X" as shown in the android app though swiping is a way
to kill the app.

** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu)
