[Bug 671789] Re: Shotwell rotates images incorrectly

 

Shotwell 0.14.1 here.
Steps to (re)produce the bug:
1) import images without copying -> thumbnails and images are displayed correctly, as per the orientation tag
2) double click on a "vertical" (i.e. taken in portrait mode) photo
3) right click -> open with external editor (gimp)
4) gimp asks if I want to rotate or not -> yes, rotate
5) modify image, then save
6) shotwell starts eating 100% cpu and eventually crashes; when re-launched, the image is distorted (see screenshot)
issue 6) happens about 80% of the time.

For the record: photos were taken with a Canon 60D camera, and are
located on an external ext4-foramtted USB hard drive.

** Attachment added: "Distorted image as shown by shotwell after being edited with Gimp."

  Shotwell handles images taken in vertical orientation incorrectly. See screenshot. The thumbnail shows an image in correct orientation and with normal proportions.
