Text-on-path upside-down

[Frédéric Parrenin]

Steps to reproduce:
- open the attached .svg file
- observe that the text-on-path is upside-down
The file was originally created by importing a pdf.
I could not find a way to make the text upside.
I could reverse the path, but in this case the text was flowing from right to left.
If I copy the path to another file, I can make the text upside.
Am I missing something?

I can confirm this, even made a tip in a tutorial for it... For pdf imports, somehow, there is a mirroring of layers.

I'm not sure if that *must* happen, and it's definitely annoying.

You're not missing anything, Frédéric.

You can fix it by copying the layer's contents into a new layer.
