Comment 2 for bug 1066185

It used to work that way but it created this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1066182 so I disabled the optional rotation angles until it can be fixed properly. This was due to what I like to call a "drive by patch or commit". The person who made this change, never followed through and fixed the undo issue. Since it is not commonly used, it tends to effect very few users. You can always use the footprint properties dialog to rotate the footprint to any angle you wish. It may not be as convenient as using the rotate hot key but it works and the undo works correctly as well. It is not a terribly difficult problem to fix. If I get some free time, I will take a look at it. I will also accept patches that are a complete solution including correctly undoing the rotations that are not 90°.
