Comment 27 for bug 1277517

I just came across this bug, which is a particular shame since 4.1 adds hyperlinks to SVG export.

Re. comment 17 "Michael, it seems that only Inkscape shows wrong orientation from such a .svg file, so perhaps it is an Inkscape bug." please let's avoid this mentality. SVG is a standard-defined language, and as pointed out in comment 13, the current output is wrong. Even if all known apps rendered the output correctly, it's a bug and should be fixed (though admittedly in that case the priority would be lower).

Here, Inkscape and current Chrome fail to rotate the text; the fact that Firefox copes is nice for Firefox users, but doesn't make LO's SVG export valid SVG. (Also, the chances are that the problem affects every other WebKit browser too.)
