toggling layers resets the rotation center

[Peter1]

It is just a little nuisance. When I toggle the visibilty of a layer, the rotation center gets reset to the center of the selection, instead of remaining at the place where I did put it.

 

The use case is that I want to match two layers, and image and a base map, zooming and rotating, and to judge the match, I toggle the top layer on and off. To make the post colorful, I show a screen shot of the work in progress (the yellow part is image, the orange part is void and transparent, the brown is map).

Version is paint.net 5.0.10.8674.32967 ( I do not assume 5.0.11 would have changed exactly this).

Thanks.

Sorry, but you will have to update to the latest version of paint. net, which is now 5.0.11.

 

After that, please check again.

Are you using the Rotate/Zoom or the Move Selected Tool when you try to do the rotation?

See the History window. @Peter1 is using Move Selected pixels.

Confirmed that in 5.0.11 the behaviour is as described.

I've already got an issue filed for this, with fixing it scheduled for the v5.1 release. @sergiopedri reported this to me awhile back. The code has a comment in it that indicates there was a workaround for some other issue, so it's not safe to fix it in the next 5.0.x update -- it needs a full testing cycle, in other words.
