Public bug reported:

The rewritten OrientationHelper that was merged into trunk here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/ubuntu-ui-
toolkit/trunk/revision/1147 introduces a new 250ms timer to prevent
incorrect rotations caused by Screen.primaryOrientation and
Screen.orientation being set one after another. However this prevents
applications from being able to rely on the changes to the angle having
been applied via onOrientationAngleChanged (since they now only get
applied 250ms after the orientation change happens).

Because the keyboard changes its orientation based on the application
orientation this results in the keyboard rotating 250ms after the
application has rotated, and more problematically means that the input
area reported by the keyboard after the onOrientationAngleChanged being
incorrect (as the orientation change hasn't actually happened).

Steps to reproduce

1) Open the browser

2) Tab the address bar

3) Rotate the phone

Expected outcome

All keys on the keyboard can be pressed

Actual outcome

Only keys in the old input area can be pressed because the new input
area hasn't been reported.
