Created attachment 147195 [details] A test for diargam's autoTxRot. The attached PPTX has a single diagram object per each of 3 slides, and on each page, the autoTxRot param [1] of <dgm:alg type="tx"> in ppt/diagrams/layoutN.xml is different. It is absent on the 1st slide (defaults to "upr" as per [2]); "none" on the 2nd slide; and "grav" on the 3rd slide. Current master toward 6.3 does not properly orient the texts in the shapes, despite [3] claims to had implemented that in GSoC 2018.
