I am trying to read some pdf documents in portrait mode using PDFXchangeViewer (rotating the screen 90 degrees); however this the bottom portion of the screen is not used. This is the case for all applications I have tried to run with Wine (see attached screenshot for notepad). None of the native Linux applications have this problem. Has anyone else seen this and is there a workaround?
I have an HP Envy x360 with an Intel running Ubuntu 16.04 with the distro Wine installation. If it helps, I am using
Absolutely no experience with rotating screen, but does it not just kinda change the resolution after rotation in xrandr? Ie a 1920x1080 display = 1080x1920? If so.. would a wine virtual desktop of 1080x1920 work? Or perhaps 2160x3840 in a 4K setting..
Yes, I could probably manually set the resolution, but WINE is doing this automatically for the width. It just isn't doing it for the height. It seems that it would resize both the same way.

Wine is being dumb and trying to draw a notepad Window 1920x1080 which is then being truncated to 1080x1080.
The xrandr handling code in Wine is not very sophisticated in my experience.
