> A major difficulty to note with Meta viewport and keeping a consistent width at screen rotations e.g., is that it requires a calculation of the new expected scale ratios according to the prior orientation and respective screen sizes. Note too that "consistent width at screen rotations" is not always desirable, but is definitely something the author wants to control. For the sites I work on, it is more important for the scale to stay consistent when the device is rotated, so that rotating can reveal wider areas (longer lines of text, images that are wider than the width of the vertical viewport, more table columns, etc.). For other sites, scaling is better when rotating, so that e.g. text will be larger and more readable on fixed-width text blocks (you can fit the whole line of text to the larger dimension of your phone just by rotating it). -- GitHub Notification of comment by bradkemper Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/258#issuecomment-245971950 using your GitHub account
