I know, this is a bit confusing, but at the moment I am not sure how
to fix it.
Correct process would be
1. rotate the images with [ ] (this just changes the metadata)
2. Edit -> Save metadata
3. select all images (CTRL-A) and start
Edit -> Orientation -> Apply the orientation to image content
Alternatively you can go to the Preferences/Metadata and set the
autosave options.

It works on all selected images so you can run it only once for each
directory. Assigning a hotkey in Preferences/Keyboard should work too.

I see. This is a bug. I will try to fix it.
