Created attachment 191244 [details] Obfuscated document, saved once in LibreOffice (but was created by somebody in MS Word) [The version field does not offer 7.6.*4*, so I chose *7.6.3.2 release*. No idea if it is a regression.] Using Debian with *libreoffice* 4:7.6.4~rc1-1 the attached document contains a field that should be rotated on the left side instead of horizontal in the middle.
The example looks like it had a rotated text box in Word, which is opened as non-rotated textframe + rotated shape in Writer. A well known missing feature. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 82627 ***
