When i change the rotation of a TextLayer of a TImageEnView with my mouse, it behaves funky.

The text jumps around like in a circus instrad of looking like Photoshop and staying in place. It jumps around in the rectangle (with or without "autosize")

I would prefer it to stick to a point (like the start, center, end) and rotate around that x,y position, instead of jumping around like on a trampoline. Now it also works somehow, but it is totally unpredictable and makes layouting hard.

Hi

The difficulty for text is that it needs to anchor at the start point (i.e. so start of text is shown and ellipses are at the end). If you rotated around the center, for instance, you would need to hide the start and end of the text if there is insufficient space.

What about an option to always show text or make this the new way it has to be. Apps like Photoshop also always show the text while rotating and don't rotate it inside of a box where they hide it. Or Some new layer element. But having it jump around when you just want it to be a slightly different angle and then need to reposition it again and again so it sticks to the point you wanted it to be is annoying.

I've added investigation of this to our to-do list.
