If we rotate from portrait to landscape several times we end up with only the actual input line at the top. The issue of this is actually if we rotate before login because the motd and login disappear despite we still can introduce user and password, and in the future if autorotate mode gets implemented using accelerometer in tablet mode we can rotate without just loosing the lines overhead from portrait to landscape.

Could be fine if the lines cropped are the difference between the rows in portrait with landscape mode or even better if we always have the input line at the bottom part it can be, by "recovering" the overflowed rows in landscape mode when we enter in portrait mode.
