Bug Description

In eeschema if I click right on a local label, select 'Change Type' and 'Change to Hierarchical Label', the result is flipped left to right or right to left. Same with changing to a Global Label or back from either. Changing from local label to text or back does not flip the direction nor between global label and hierarchical label.
