This is indeed the one part of my experience The other half is about seeing horizontal oriented rectangle shape, but having 90° rotation; it for me counter intuitive. And doesn't make any sense until you add text. Even if you add text, you ask yourself, what's wrong here... why is the text placed top/down.. There is no UI feedback An a drawing easily becomes chaos: And if you have 10 rectangles at various degrees: 270 degrees some at 180 degree some at 0 degree some at 90 degree but only shown horizontal or vertical... what is going on? And you want rotate a few of those.. the rotation itself becomes a challenge and distracts from what you're actually are drawing Turn the shape upside down by 270° degree rotation is odd. A shape with 180° being upside down feels natural. If i asked you to draw a rectangle with a 270° rotation without further information.. what of a result would I get? Vertical or horizontal oriented shape? Or reply: I can't because lack of baseline rotation. You don't think of a shape with a 270° rotation to be upside down containing vertical text --- The whole rotation angle stuff would be less noticeable WYSIWYG with a rotation handle on the shape/ image itself, instead of fiddling with dialog control. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
