Describe the bug
When I do a layout change in the orientationChangedEvent method these changes are not correctly applied to the user interface, if I do not explictely call ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges().

To Reproduce

        private readonly cdr = inject(ChangeDetectorRef);
        public _rows = signal<string>(
		this._isSmallTablet
			? '*,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,*'
			: '25,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,*'
	);
	
        ngOnInit(){
	Application.on(Application.orientationChangedEvent, this.deviceOrientationChanged, this);
	}
	//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	private updateLayoutMode(mode: 'portrait' | 'landscape' | 'unknown') {
		let rows: string;
		if (mode !== 'landscape') {
			this._showActionButtonsWithText = true;
			rows = '25,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,*';
			if (this._isSmallTablet) {
				rows = '*,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,*';
			}
		} else {
			this._showActionButtonsWithText = false;
			rows = '*,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60,*,60';
		}
		this._rows.set(rows);
	}
	//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	public deviceOrientationChanged(evt: OrientationChangedEventData) {
		if (Math.min(Screen.mainScreen.widthDIPs, Screen.mainScreen.heightDIPs) < 1000) {
			this.updateLayoutMode(evt.newValue);
			this.cdr.detectChanges();
		}
	}

Expected behavior
I would expect that I do not need this.cdr.detectChanges(); in the deviceOrientationChanged method in order for layout changes to be picked up by renderer.
