                I have two cuboids.  I rotate them 90.  I duplicate and mirror one of them and the duplicated part is rotated back.  In the picture I mirrored the small part on the left.  You can see the resulting green part is turned 90.

This bug happens all the time... it was mentionned and detailed before on this forum (with attached files).
It's so common that I use the workaround without thinking : stitch the block before rotation or symmetry...
Of course, I loose all history and possibility to modify dimensions of the block...
Time for action ?

                Hello All
Had a look at previous posts and tried to repeat again without success even using sample file provided by JL.  So I'm either completely stupid or it's been fixed in latest development build.  I've uploaded quick movie to our website, as forum seems to be having a problem with it, let me know if I'm doing something wrong...

                Hello JL
Finally got it to repeat.  It would seem that if rotation is about z axis then rotated block can be copied without issue.  However, if the rotation is about either x or y axes then copies are always transformed incorrectly.  Hopefully this will narrow it down a little for the development team.
