If you hold the device up in portrait it rotates correctly, if you flip the device around it rotates to landscape correctly... However if you set the n900 down flat it appears to rotate to an intermediate state that is neither landscape or portrait as the coverart is beside the track information as in landscape mode but the screen is still in portrait display...

Looks weird and the cover art is truncated as there is not enough room horizontally to display it due to still being in portrait mode...

...
In the real world what this means is:

If you start up in landscape and rotate to portrait no problem. If however, you start it in portrait like from a fixed mount in a car or suttin', you now get a split landscape screen...

I prefer to use a Navigation program in portrait mode as it gives me more "look ahead". Previous portrait only versions of Instinctiv were great and much better than using the OEM player sideways.

Pulling it out of its mount and turning to landscape and then back to portrait solves this problem but it is a PITA that wasn't there before.

I'm back to using OEM now because of this bug in Instinctiv.
If this is all that has changed I'll roll back to Septembers build when I get a chance.
Were there any performance enhancements or was it just this bit?
