Bug Description

Text is mirrored horizontally when flipping layers. As far as I can remember, this has always been like that.

Modules used to be mirrored horizontally when pressing "F", but now they are mirrored vertically and are upside-down.

Why?

I thought vertical flipping was a bit odd too, but I traced it back in GIT and it's been that way since at least 2009 (possibly earlier).
