flip and rotation example

DRAW: flip object vertically is shown as rotation of 180°
steps to reproduce:
1. add an object like a lightning symbol.
2. Flip it vertically (not horizontally!)
3. Format->Position and size->Rotation:  Angle is 180,00 degrees which is wrong.
It should be 0 degree.

A possible cause might be, that fipping vertically AND horizontally is equal to a rotation of 180 degrees.
In my case: Flipping vertically is equal to flipping horizontally AND rotation with 180 degrees.

However it's strange for me as a user. Because. if I would like to rotate is afterwards by 10 degrees I have enter 190 degrees. :-(

There is no problem with this.
Flipping is like flipping a paper: you see the drawing from the back. But rotating the diagram is rotating the paper without flipping. So you have to think in 3-D.
