Description

Expected behavior

The user expected that when using the Android app on their Surface Duo, the content would split properly between both screens.

Actual behavior

The app doesn't split content properly and the hinge gets in the way of the content.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I haven't been able to reproduce this as I don't have access to this device, but it may be worth considering if this is something we're able to support or not.

Reported on Surface Duo, asking the user to clarify details of device.
