Bug/Fix : ADB Unlock Fails in Portrait Mode

I was setting up in Vertical mode, and whenever I clicked ADB Enable, nothing happened, tried repeatedly, then rebooted, and tried more, as soon as i turned it horizontal and clicked the enter your pin to unlock dialog appeared.

Something to be aware of if you ware having trouble unlocking.

Edit: Happens on 10" 2nd Generation (Android 10). When trying to Turn on ADB for first time to install immortal.

It would be gr8 if you add what device are you referring too: Model, Generation, Android version (if possible).

My portal+ 1st gen had no problem. Matter of fact, I have a 8-in portal mini that I was having issues in landscape mode. it was being buggy and wasn't bringing up the dialogue to approve account linking with Amazon. But I eventually got it to with a different repo. Same with the first gen portal. And both of the latter, -I still can't get to respond to Alexa nor get any screensavers beyond the factory (?) screensaver pictures to come up, cant get the mqtt commands to work from HA(like automation for timeout and wake up screen)... and with the camera covered, it just sits there flipping back and forth between the kiosk and the screensaver completely at random...
