   I am having the same issue
   
   1. Started with holding device in portrait-primary position and screen locked to portrait-primary"
   2. unlock()
   3. rotate device to landscape-secondary (clockwise)
   window.screen.orientation change event fires
   window.screen.orientation.type is now "landscape-secondary"
   4. lock("landscape-secondary")
   No event fires because orientation has not changed
   5. lock("portrait")
   window.screen.orientation change event fires
   window.screen.orientation.type is now "portrait-primary"
   6. rotate device to portrait-primary (counter clockwise)
   Nothing happens because orientation is locked.
   7. unlock()
   screen rotates to "landscape-secondary"
   window.screen.orientation change event fires
   window.screen.orientation.type is now "landscape-secondary"
   
   The issue lies within step 7. Instead of just unlocking the orientation but keeping it as it is (or even better: updating it to the physical orientation of the device) the `unlock` call changes it back to the orientation that was active before the last `lock` call was made.
   
   Seeing that the last release of this plugin was 2 years ago I have little hope of actually getting a fix. Too bad capacitor relys on this plugin for its orientation handling.
