SUMMARY
This bug occurs in a recent nightly build, but not in 5.3 beta 1, suggesting this is a regression caused by a recent patch. Note: this bug was found using two different Android phones, not a tablet. So try installing the APK on Android phone to reproduce the issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn your phone to landscape mode.
2. Open a .kra file

OBSERVED RESULT
Half the screen turns black, with the UI squished into the other half of the screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
The whole screen has the UI, like in 5.3 beta 1.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Krita 5.4 nightly
Android 16
arm64
git 027815a6 (Feb. 14, 2026)



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bug can be disappeared if you change the screen orientation once again after opening the first .kra, although it will return if you open another .kra file.
