I was fixing the Pcbnew block rotate hot key when I discovered that the
block rotate command in both Pcbnew and Eeschema (and I'm assuming the
component and footprint library editors as well) do not behave the way I
thought they did or should.  When a block is selected and either the
rotate hot key or context menu is selected, the block rotates at the
original selection point and the block command ends.  Shouldn't the
block command continue until the user presses the left mouse key to
actually place the rotated block?  This makes more sense to me and would
allow you to perform more than one rotation during the block command.
If no one objects, I'll add it to my list.
