Public bug reported: I have a convertible HP Elite Book 1030 G3. When I switch to tablet mode, the screen orientation changes as I rotate the device. When I fold it back to laptop mode, the screen keeps the last orientation it had in tablet mode.
The device should reset to the default orientation when laptop mode is entered. There is also an old bug report on Mutter that describes the same problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1917 As a workaround, one can hack together a script that listens for laptop/tablet changes and resets Mutter via dbus to the desired orientation.
