Hi,   the text rotation has many problem,  for the B.SilkS  layer
has any one else seen this ?  or working on the bugs ?

This also shows up on Eagle PCB import.

As a side note,  the rotation dialog is overly complex.
IE there is no need to have a button for other  to access the deg rotation.
You should be just able to just type the new angle,  without the need hit
the "other" button.
Better still,  any change to the any of the field's  should immediately
update.
Save the endless change vale click OK.. Change vale click OK..  loop to see
the results.

Lachlan.
