Text fields move in wrong direction in rotated component

[Ron Burkey]

In trying to move a visible text field of a symbol with 'M', the text moves in the direction OPPOSITE of the direction the mouse cursor moves.

Hmmm... I'm not seeing this.

Whey you say opposite, do you just mean on the Y axis, or on both?

Anyone else seeing this?

I'm not seeing it on macOS: select text field, hit 'M', everything moves in the direction I expect.

Here's a link to a video:

First, I 'M' a component (the oval pad). It moves correctly, with all
its visible fields.

Then I 'M' one of the visible text fields by itself.

[Ron Burkey (rburkey)]

In the video, that component is rotated 180. That may be why you didn't see it.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

Yep; reproduces readily with a rotated component.
