It’s easy to reproduce with the application Play RTS.
Actually it overwrites the orientation set by the user.
Here are my steps:

  1. Set orientation to portrait
  2. Open Play RTS
  3. Choose Vidéos or Audio (at the bottom)
  4. Click on a video or audio
  5. Set your phone on landscape mode
  6. Close Play RTS
  7. Open an Android app

Thanks for sharing the bug @asavasa, for the nice reproduction steps @pherjung, and for the additional confirmation @sashikknox. I’ve recorded this bug internally and have tagged it as “tracked”. If there’s more info to share about it I’ll do my best to post it here.

Update 4.5.0.16, Xperia 10 III
Hi, I’m not sure if this fits here, too.
After updating my Xperia 10 III, I observe after a fresh reboot, that opening Aurora-store (takes much longer than in 4.4.0.72) it’s mostly landscape-mode.
Closing Aurora-Store and opening afterwards e.g. Signal, this is landscape-mode, too. Will this be fixed the next 1-2 updates?
