Seprate Touch mode from Auto-Rotate

Under Workspace>General Behavior, this setting exists:

When the touch mode is enabled, 4 things happen: Some applications make their elements bigger, Panel items are forced to their largest spacing, window decorations get bigger and Auto-rotate is enabled. One of these is not like the others.

I’m using a 2 in 1 laptop and I don’t like how big the system tray or window decorations gets in touch mode. Things get really crammed on my vertical panel with the system tray items forced to large, as it shrinks the task manager items for them to fit.
However I am forced to have it enabled for Auto-rotate to work at all.

These things should really be seprate.

You can make auto-rotate always happen even when not in tablet mode. There’s a setting for it in System Settings > Display & Monitor.

If you don’t see it, try leaving the page and coming back to it. If that works, then you’re hitting 488764 – Auto-rotate settings don't appear in KCM until entering tablet mode once, which is on the radar screen as something to fix soon.

No such option appears in that page, tablet mode or not.

Even if you leave the page and come back? How about if you enter and exit tablet mode, then go back to the page after that?

Actually it did appear now when i entered tablet mode and reopened it. I turned off “only in tablet mode” and now it always appears. Very strange and annoying bug, hope it’s fixed in the next release.
