Re: Query regarding 1.3.4

All WCAG SC apply to every page in every state. If that state was achieved by the device initially beginning in one orientation and then changing to another, if still has to conform to all SC. 

From WCAG: [https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#cc2]
"NOTE
New A full page includes each variation of the page that is automatically presented by the page for various screen sizes (e.g. variations in a responsive Web page). Each of these variations needs to conform (or needs to have a conforming alternate version) in order for the entire page to conform."

I don't think it does.

Perhaps that means this is not an issue for the originator of the question, but whether it selectively affects disabled users or not does not seem relevant; 1.3.4 still says, I think, that for anyone--able-bodied or not--the device should not fail following a change in orientation.

How does that selectively affect disabled users?
