Export to PDF + TeX: wrong alignment of rotated paragraph block

[texnic]

[Windows 7 64 Pro, Inkscape 0.48.2]

A funny bug I should say...

1) Create a text block (F8, drag mouse).
2) Type some text so that it occupies more than one line.
3) Centre the text.
4) Rotate the block by 90 degrees CCW.
5) Finally, save the file as PDF + TeX and compile the result with pdfLaTeX.

As long as the text is horizontal, everything is fine: positioning, alignment.
When the text is 90-degree rotated, the result (in the final PDF, after pdflatex) gets shifted upwards (the bottom margin of the final block is somewhere where the upper margin of the non-rotated block was).

With intermediate rotations (less than 90 degrees) the result is also intermediate.

At the same time, some weird transformation occurs in the text block itself. In my thesis (a large and complex project, the 90-degree rotated text gets left-aligned. But I was unable to reproduce it in a small file so far.

I can confirm this bug. For me this problem exists also with just one line of text. It seems like there is something messed up with the width/heigth of the textbox. I'm posting an example soon.

All lines should be placed centered on the reference line.

I fixed the bug: The calculation of the rectangle, from which the width of the textbox and the latex anchor point is determined, was mistakenly done after rotating /transforming the text. Now, the anchor point and the width of the textbox are determined before transforming.
