Created attachment 154543 [details] Example to test flip Open attached document. It has a parallelogram with some dummy text. A parallelogram has a text box, which is smaller than the shape frame rectangle. Flip the shape vertically or flip it horizontally. Expected: The text remains in the center. Observed: The text is outside its text box and is rendered at the edge of the shape frame rectangle. (The shape frame rectangle corresponds to the resize-handles, which you see when you click on the shape.) This happens for all shapes, which have a text box that is smaller than the shape frame rectangle, e.g diamond, circle. It is a bug in rendering. [I wonder, that there exists no bug report already. At least I have not found any.]

It is not totally fixed. The size of the text rectangle is correct now, but the position of the text rectangle is still wrong.

Sorry, still not fixed. The provided solution does not work in case of TextRotateAngle other than zero.
Created attachment 154780 [details] ExampleCollection.pptx contains shapes with 'rot' attribute on textbox The first series in the collection has a shape, that contains a 'rot' attribute on the textbox and in addition a shape rotation, so that the text box look upright. The second series has a shape, that contains only a 'rot' attribute on the textbox, so that the text is rotated. The triangle shape, which is transformed, has a gray background. The hatched triangle shows the original position of the shape and the blue rectangle shows the original position of the text box. For each series the triangle is transformed by 180° rotation 180° rotation plus horizontal flip horizontal flip vertical flip Notice, that '180° rotation plus horizontal flip' is the same as 'vertical flip'. You need to open the file in PowerPoint for comparison, because the import from pptx is still buggy.
Created attachment 154781 [details] ExampleCollectionSimilarToPPTX.odp contains similar shapes, but defined with ODF means This collection contains the same kind of shapes as in the attached pptx file, but defined as ODF shapes and not imported. The proposed new patch [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/80310/] results in the same position and orientation as you see with the other file in PowerPoint. I like to keep the interpretation of the file content that way for interoperability. The ODF standard has no exact description, how shape rotation, mirroring and text box rotation are combined. For example in ODF1.2 part 1, 19.226 draw:text-rotate-angle "The draw:text-rotate-angle attribute specifies the angle by which text within a custom shape is rotated in addition to the rotation included in the shape's draw:transform attribute." and in ODF1.2 part 1, 19.193 draw:mirror-vertical "The draw:mirror-vertical attribute specifies if the vertical geometry of a shape is to be mirrored." We might think of an additional UI element, which changes the text box orientation in a way, that it looks mirrored too, when the shape is mirrored. For example, to get an upright text box on slide 2. Currently the user needs macros to set the desired text box rotation.
on slide 2 --> in slide 5

I thing, now it is OK.
