#16464: ANDROID: Black screen after rotating from portrait to landscape

This is on a Android 16 device.
I have tested with ScummVM Android 2.9.1.1 and latest 2026.1.0, with a
clean installation of the app each time.
This is a device where the default GUI scale setting (100% Medium, via
Global Options -> GUI -> Gui scale) results in the following behavior:
- On landscape orientation, the low res version of the GUI is used. This
seems to be due to my setting (via the Android settings) increased (by one
notch) font size and "display size".
- On portrait orientation, the high res version of the GUI is used.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start ScummVM in portrait mode. Switch to Grid view, if not already in
that mode.
- Click on a game from the list (eg. one of the bundled demos) so that the
"context" menu will appear around the game's icon.
- Switch the phone's orientation to horizontal/landscape and wait for
ScummVM to auto-adjust the display.
This will result in a black screen, where the cursor is visible, and
sometimes also the tooltip with the game's name. ScummVM still is
operational (it does not crash).
The issue seems to fix itself if I rotate the phone, changing its
orientation, a few times.
Extra notes:
- When switching from portrait Grid view, to landscape (low res, auto
switch to list view), then switching back to portrait stays in List view.
