At first I thought this was a problem with my app, but it seems to be happening in any app (though interestingly, not the home screen) in the gingerbread emulator.
To replicate my issue, open eclipse and fire up the android emulator for gingerbread (I'm using the "Google APIs - API Level 9" as my target)
So the procedure to duplicate once the emulator loads is
press LCtrl-F11 to shift orientation to landscape, then again to switch to portrait
Result:
In the homescreen:
The view rotates to landscape, and then back to portrait, as expected
In any app (i've tried browser, calculator, maps, and the app i'm currently working on):
the view rotates to landscape, and then nothing, it stays in landscape even the emulator is displaying the phone in landscape mode (see below)

Has anyone else had this issue, or have I installed the emulator in some incorrect way - this hasn't been an issue with any of the previous emulators
