Bug Description

In footprints arcs with angle -90 are counter clockwise (which makes sense as the y axis points down.)
But if one uses the move exactly tool and chooses -90 then it rotates in clockwise direction (as if the y axis would point up)

Arcs seem to be the only thing that follows the coordinate system correctly with regards to rotation. Will be interesting with the y axis inversion stuff planned for v6
