Menu does not centre if accessed via landscape view

Hi My list menu when accessed via preceding menu, centers OK if I view it in portrait view and change pages. However if I rotate the first menu list to landscape and then change windows the proceeding page menu does not center (it moves to the right and cuts off the image by a few millimeters. Any suggestions? Thanks Tony

Don't really have any suggestions but have heard of this before. Rendering screens is a complex process and landscape to portrait does mess things up sometimes, especially on menu's. You could try preventing the rotation if it's appropriate? What happens when the screen is cut-off a bit. Does rotating it back to portrait fix it or is somehow broken forever once it happens. This is super strange but like I said, I have heard of it..just don't know the fix.

Thanks David It centers ok if you go to the page and then rotate to l/scape. It only happens if you arrive at the page in l/scape view. Quite odd!

This is odd behavior but there must be an explanation. I've got it on the list of things to re-visit after we get Android v1.5 release. Thanks for the addition - good info.
