File-open in LO opens it in Draw without dialog, it looks rotated. 
File-open in Draw gives a dialog: This image is rotated. Would you like to rotate it into standard orientation?
No opens it rotated, similar to Paint.
Yes opens it upright.
I'd say NotABug.
Comment 3 Timur 2020-10-29 08:00:18 UTC
This is Exif Orientation tag, looks like LO supports it.
Comment 4 Telesto 2020-10-29 09:07:23 UTC
Not sure if LibreOffice doing the right thing.. Except after they dialog

Chrome/Corel PaintShop/ DXO do open they file properly. So I think there is something off

@Quikee
Some DEV insights would be nice. This is about EXIF rotation tags (most applications do rotate), LibreOffice doesn't by default. 
Insert -> Image -> Shows a dialog for rotation
Comment 6 Tomaz Vajngerl 2020-10-29 09:28:10 UTC
We removed the dialog in Writer, but it looks like it is still present in Draw.
Comment 7 Timur 2020-10-29 09:59:20 UTC
What's the bug and Expected here exactly? 
Apart that all modules should behave the same.
Comment 8 Simo He 2022-06-14 13:17:10 UTC
This might be resolved since bug 146019 is solved
Comment 9 Timur 2022-06-14 15:01:11 UTC
Insert is OK but Open in LO/Draw is not.
