I am currently in version 1.11.0. Subsequent to one of the version changes in recent weeks, I am now having an issue with the tables displaying upside down in 2 of the 4 orientations of the Kindle Fire.
In the landscape mode, in the past I would use my Fire HD with the micro USB power connector and the micro-HD on the top. This would allow me to have the Fire held straight up on top of a desk with the cords (for power, and to monitor/TV) going up and not interfering. However, recently I stopped being able to do this. Here are the symptoms:
1) When I am on that screen that shows any of the tables with "Game Setup"/"Exit Table"/"Table Menu"/"Leaderboard"/"Start" icons, the table is oriented correctly.
2) However, as soon as I click on "Start" in order to start to play, the table flips and it's upside down.
In an experiment, I see that the same thing happens when I go in portrait mode with the micro USB connector and the micro-HD on the left (when facing the screen).
Neither of these happen when I try the other landscape mode with connectors on bottom (but that's a problem because of the cords going down ). It also doesn't happen with the portrait mode with the connectors on the right.
Like I said, this is relatively new issue for me. Is it happening to others as well? Please let me know if you are experiencing what appears to me to be a bug. Thanks.

Updating my post. Turns out that this is probably not new for me. I just saw that when I use the micro-hd cable in the top of the Kindle Fire, the table DOES display correctly when being played. (Which I think is how I had always happened to have used it with the connectors on top in the past.) So in reality, it will only be an issue for me when I am using the micro USB cable on top (for power purposes when my battery is low) at a desk at those few times when at the same time I am not using the micro-hd cable (with a monitor or TV). Interesting that using the micro-hd cable fixes the orientation.
