Description Bryan Petty 2005-10-11 06:37:05 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Gentoo

Select the rotation tool in the tool window, and change the behavior to rotate
either selection or path. Now select "Layer"->"Transform"->"Arbitrary Rotation"
from the menu (yes, I know, it's the same tool as rotate). Where "Arbitrary
Rotation" is a shortcut to the rotate tool and activating it, if you've
previously changed the rotation tool to another mode (selection or path), it
doesn't change it back to layer rotation (as I believe would be implied
selecting it from the "Layer" menu) and fails to rotate the layer (but probably
does rotate the path or selection if you have one or the other active).

This was the cause of a good amount of confusion seeing that rotate 90 degrees
and 180 degrees were working perfectly, but arbitrary rotation wasn't.

Somewhat hackish, but it does the trick:

	* app/actions/tools-actions.c
	* app/actions/tools-commands.c: special case gimp-rotate-tool
	being called from the Layer menu and set transform type to
	GIMP_TRANSFORM_TYPE_LAYER. Fixes bug #318540.
