A note to confirm this issue is affecting autopilot test automation on tablet devices, where the shell runs in landscape mode, but the display panel orientation is fixed portrait. When sending touch input co- ordinates relative to the shell orientation they must be transformed to the display orientation. But this requires knowledge of what the native display orientation is for the device being tested.

Most toolkits give AP the ability to calculate the coordinates of an item inside the surface, i.e. relative to the surface top-left corner, and then obtain the position of the window from the display server (X11 usually) to calculate the absolute position. However Mir does not have an API to let its clients find the surface position relative to the screen. There is also a desire from the Mir team not to supply this information. We need to discuss how to solve this problem in a way everyone is happy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/autopilot/+bug/1346633/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
