Bug Description

Steps:

1) Open board in pcbnew
2) Select an item
3) Start the text tool
4) Enter text and select OK to get to placement stage
5) Before placing, rotate the text.

Both the new text and the previous selection rotate. With other drawing tools, the previous selection is cleared before the new one is added.
