Title:
  When switching to 2-column landscape mode, current conversations are
  closed

Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  messaging-app.qml has the following code:

          onColumnsChanged: {
              // we only have things to do here in case no thread is selected
              if (layout.columns == 2 && !application.findMessagingChild("emptyStatePage") && !application.findMessagingChild("fakeItem")) {
                  layout.removePage(mainPage)
                  emptyStack()
              }
          }

  This causes the current conversation to be closed when the user
  rotates the phone (on a large-enough screen to go to two-column mode),
  and that can be very annoying. The APL can already take care of moving
  pages to the correct column and correct place in the stack when
  needed, so this code should be removed. Also note that emptyStack()
  will again call layout.removePage(mainPage).
