[Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.vugt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just reproduced on arale too.

Steps to reproduce (actually something I do regularly):
  1. Open Settings
  2. With your right hand put the phone down on the desk to your far right.

In doing so, you will often find you're tilting it slightly to the left,
which makes the phone enter landscape mode. However because it doesn't
respond the the rotation immediately, it appears to be rotating itself
the moment you've put the phone down.

So it's a simple matter of we're not thresholding the accelerometer
adequately -- we're too sensitive to brief tilting.

** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Summary changed:

- [mako] Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the desk
+ Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the desk

** Summary changed:

- Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the desk
+ Unity8 is over-sensitive to brief (accidental) tilting, making the screen rotate when you don't want it to.

Bug description:
  Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the
  desk.

  I might be mistaken but this bug seems to be a new issue that arrived
  with the full shell rotation feature in wily. Using a phone while it's
  laying flat on the desk it sometimes rotates itself to landscape.

  Seems like we might have some over-sensitive accelerometer logic.
