Display rotation stuck at 90 degrees after resume

Project Member Reported by w...@chromium.org, Oct 20 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 63.0.3239.7
OS: ChromeOS Kevin

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Not sure; I just woke up the device after having had it in my bag on a 2hr plane journey.

What is the expected result?

Expect that the display has the correct orientation, in laptop mode.

What happens instead?

In laptop mode the display has 90-degree orientation.

When switched to tablet mode the display rotates normally.

When switching back to laptop, though, it reverts to 90-degree rotation.

Opening the Display settings dialog, the display orientation setting was greyed out, and stuck at 90 degrees.

Seems like a sensor issue?

Re #1: The display was only "stuck" at 90-degrees when in laptop mode - when I flipped the device into the tablet configuration it did respond to changes in orientation (including to 0-degree rotation); it would just always revert to 90 degrees when I switched it back to laptop, until I rebooted.

Well, let's CC: more people who know about it, and let them figure it out :)

It's probably  crbug.com/774236 ? Couldn't you change the orientation in settings in clamshell?

Comment 5 by w...@chromium.org, Oct 23 2017

Re #4: No, the orientation in chrome://settings stayed greyed-out, both in laptop mode and tablet mode.

Comment 6 by osh...@chromium.org, Oct 23 2017

Oh, that seems to be a different regression. I'll file a bug.

#1: sensors are only used for lid angle calculation in desktop mode, screen orientation is not using sensors when in desktop mode.

This is most likely  crbug.com/774236 .
The issue in #5 is  crbug.com/777587 .

That's being said, the other issue is that that the device can go into tablet mode when closing the lid, and it can rotate using the sensor. It's basically same as crbug.com/741939.
