[alexsafe]

Description

Changing tablet orientation will re-render cards in news feed incorrectly. Happens only on the tab that shows the first news feed after turning news on.

Follow up for #21868

Steps to reproduce

1. Clean install 1.41
2. Enabled News, Show news
3. Scroll through news feed
4. Change tablet orientation, scroll back up slightly
5. Change orientation back again, scroll up and down

Check the original issue for details.

If after step 2, we open a new tab things work well. In this situation even coming back to the first tab the rotation changes act as expected.

Not sure if this has been used in testing but going to App Info->Storage0>Clear storage->Clear all data (or whatever that path is for different devices) resets the app and it's a bit faster than uninstalling then reinstalling.
