Description

Rotating should not affect any of the typed content, not the body nor the address fileds or subject field

When typing an address and rotating while the field is still selected, the field is cleared. Rotating back does not make the text reappear.

Steps to reproduce
  1. start typing in the to: field
  2. rotate to landscape mode

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the compose screen on K-9 Mail 5.401, entering text in the To field and rotating to landscape. Trace how the address, body, and subject fields behave across rotation. Done means typed content remains intact in all three fields after rotating in either direction.
