AIR 3.5: stageOrientationEvent fires only UPSIDE_DOWN when <aspectRatio> is set in app descriptor xm

Noticed a strange behaviour after updating my ios app to AIR 3.5 sdk: The auto-orientation stopped working for rotatedLeft and rotatedRight, it only kept firing for default and upsideDown.


Once I've removed the <aspectRatio>portrait</aspectRatio> in my app descriptor file all events fired again.

Is this a bug or is it on purpose?

To reproduce this just create a new project in FB 4.6 and AIR 3.5, set autoOrients to true and add or remove the aspectRatio part in the descriptor xml. With <aspectRatio> set you cannot rotate the adl preview window. Without it, you can.

It's intentional. By setting the aspectratio to portrait you are saying that it's a portrait only app. The change was made in AIR 3.3 I think.
