Measurement tool measures mirrored text in wrong position

[Hachmann]

If a text is transformed (esp. mirrored), then the measurement tool will not be able to measure the letter paths correctly.

Please see attached picture for an example of where the tool 'thinks' the text is vs. where it really is.

Tested with 0.92.x as of 2017-12-15
