Bug Description
To reproduce:
- make a rectangle
- skew it
- change fill to circular gradient
- switch to gradient tool. (The axes of the gradient are not at 90° angle but skewed also. This is not exactly a bug, see ~suv comments below)
- drag the endpoints of the gradient's axes out: the angle between the axes becomes gradually smaller, making the gradient unusable.
See attached animated GIF of screenshots.

Main problem is that the angle between the gradient axes changes when dragging their endpoints out.
If the gradient axes would *remain* at an angle that corresponds to the "skew angle" (angle between skewed rectangle sides), it could be desirable behaviour. But with the angle changing, the gradient becomes unusable.
