Hi Jo-Hanes

Seems this bug has languished for a while :S

Still seeing this in 1.2.2cvs/1.3cvs?

yes. im thinking of a corel draw or indesign style rotating function: either activating the rotation mode after clicking an object twice (no doubleclick) or entering rotation mode with a keyboard shortcut.

nevertheless, rotation should be limited to either the basepoint set on the page palette or/and the four red corner points.

Currently, the rotation is possible for the for corner points and for the center.

Once one knows that, it's pretty easy to predict what Scribus will do.

The cursor seems now to be OK to me.

It would be nice to highlight the corner (or center) that will be used as the pivot. But that's a different ticket.
