Comment 3 for bug 647895

Once you release the mouse button, the text is correctly updated to the new position of the circle it was put on. Rotate the shape only, the text will follow as intended - instead of rotating both.

If you select both items and rotate them, the text will get the rotational transform twice (once from the path it was put on, once from being rotated itself). This is corrected when the transformation is done (because at that moment it can be 'undone' for the text that references the shape).

Same as Bug #167031 “Text on path drag bug”, duplicate of Bug #165727 “display is wrong when transforming by mouse”.
