This is intended Android behavior, if I've read this correctly. When a focused EditText is rotated from portrait to landscape (on a phone), it will show the full screen editor.

Sure, but shouldn't it start out as a full screen editor then? It starts out in landscape orientation as the same form presented in portrait orientation.

I don't think so, as the user needs to know that they are looking at an Alert Dialog first.

Well, its probably an edge case with the multiple rotations. I thought it was weird but maybe it won't be something that turns up often.

We'll let this one simmer, for now I've removed the 2.6 milestone.

Yep, that's why it doesn't start out as a full screen editor (it's not focused).

I'm closing this, feel free to reopen if you see weird behavior.
