In case it depends on the file structure somehow, here's an example file.

I tried to reproduce this bug in

Version: 25.2.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 520(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Ubuntu package version: 4:25.2.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~lo3

I was able to rotate a square. After I had inserted the square I clicked it and then I clicked one of the small green resizing squares on the edge of the square object. After this the green resizing squares disappeared and small gray circles appeared around the square object. When I moved the mouse cursor over the small gray circle that was on the corner of the square object the mouse cursor changed to a rotation symbol and I was able to rotate the square.

So I guess this bug doesn't appear in version 25.2.2.2.

The issue is only seen with this file, not with any new file with the diamond shape. Not even with 7.3. Something is wrong with this particular file, not sure what, though. Did check content.xml quickly, but did not notice anything.

DarkTrick: can you still reproduce with a new file?
