Public bug reported:
Text rotated through Character > Position appears to rotate each line of
text separately and order them according to the text direction of the
paragraph, i.e. in an English text, placing the first line leftmost and
in an Arabic text, placing the first line rightmost, regardless of
whether the text was rotated 90 or 270 degrees. As a user, I would
expect the whole paragraph to be rotated as a whole, so that if the page
is printed out, the paragraph could be read the way it would naturally
be written.
See the attached screenshot, where the English text rotated 90° reads
correctly, whereas the 270° rotation produces the wrong line ordering.
In Arabic, the opposite is true: 270° rotation presents the text as
expected whereas 90° has the lines reversed.
