Description: Text label of arrow being upside-down (aka object rotated 180 degrees) when dragging from right to left Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Draw 2. Draw an line (with arrow head) point to some object from left and right side 3. Add some text label Actual Results: Arrow drawn from right to left being rotated, causing text label to be upside down Expected Results: No rotation at all of the object. I still not grasping why drawing from right to left means: object being rotation 180 degree Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a8ec21adf255b70bb6eeb0a1717190df303d8b26 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded

The initial rotation of a line is always taking from the angle of the start-to-end vector, for a polyline from the first segment. The text is rotated the same way to be from start to end along the line. That is the intended behavior. The feature "Text along path" allows to revert the text direction. Or you can draw the "Line starts with arrow" line and draw from left to right. It has already been discussed in bug 137279 and bug 37097. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 137279 ***
