Description

Description

When the user is viewing the Diagnostic log screen and rotates the device from portrait to landscape orientation (and vice versa), the screen either does not respond to the rotation or takes significantly more time to rotate compared to other screens in the application. This indicates an incorrect or missing responsiveness handling for the Diagnostic log screen on orientation change.

Environment:

[ ] Staging [x] PROD

Application:

OS/Device: iOS 26.5 / iPhone 15
App: Mergin Maps / 2026.3.0-912411

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Mergin Maps mobile app.
  2. Navigate to the Diagnostic log screen.
  3. While on the Diagnostic log screen, rotate the device from portrait to landscape orientation.
  4. Observe the screen behavior.

Expected Result

The Diagnostic log screen rotates immediately and adjusts its layout correctly to landscape orientation, consistent with the behavior of other screens in the application.

Actual Result

The screen either does not rotate, or the rotation is significantly delayed compared to the standard system rotation response. The layout remains in portrait orientation while the device is held in landscape position and vice versa.

Attachments

Screen recording showing the delayed or missing rotation response on iPhone 15.

Done means the screen rotates promptly between portrait and landscape and its layout adjusts consistently with other screens.
