Touchview inverts external display.

Project Member Reported by abodenha@chromium.org, Feb 13 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 64.0.3282.134 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)
OS: 10176.65.0 (Official Build) beta-channel eve

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Use convertible chromebook in laptop mode and external display connected
(2) Flip device into tent mode

What is the expected result?
There are several options:
A) Don't enter touchview mode if a mouse and keyboard are connected
B) Enter touchview, but if a screen, mouse, and keyboard are connected default to extended display rather than mirrored.
C) Get creative with how mirror mode behaves. (see below)

What happens instead?
The external display is inverted. It will sort out if you fold the laptop into a tablet configuration and hold it the correct direction.

This is a weird edge case but I could imagine it becoming an issue if a user wanted to use the device in tent mode while projecting.

Option C probably makes the most sense but it requires decoupling the orientation of each display while in mirroring mode and not allowing autorotation to affect the external display.  There are a lot of UI implications here that we'd need to think through.

That's really weird.
My expectation is that it will act as clamshell when you have accurate-pointing-device (i.e. mouse/trackpad, option A).


Ben, let's add this to our external displays explorations
