setting Screen.orientation manually freezes touch input position

if I'm detecting a touch already, tracking it's position via Input.touchs[0].position for example, and then set Screen.orientation
(in my case from AutoRotation to Portrait)
the touch input position values simply freeze, I'm still moving my finger but the touch input position stays where it was when I set Screen.orientation

This is a Unity bug I believe. Found old posts about it. This sounds similar for example: https://forum.unity.com/threads/problem-with-changing-screen-orientation.274056/
