Post an update screen doesn't rotate?

[WPCentral Question]

just got a 1020...

the screen doesn't rotate to landscape/horizontal when on the "post an update" screen. the screen rotated at the "post a message" screen that was on my 900. both of these are under the "Me" live tile in their respective WP versions.

please tell me i'm not stuck typing in portrait/vertical for any social media posting i do, without resorting to official network apps of course... can't stand em.

Check your screen rotation settings.

Check your screen rotation settings.

i'm assuming you mean the screen rotation lock. i would never enable that, and i double checked its functionality... when locked horizontal the post an update screen is still in vertical mode. some screens on the 900 (WP7.5) were orientation locked, but not this one.

if not, where can i find the screen rotation settings?

does the post an update screen rotate for you?

i get that you probably field many questions, but answers like that just lead to more questions.

thanks for the help in advance.

and now for a helpful post for anyone else with this complaint... yes, it is orientation locked.
