            Bug ID: 137997
           Summary: Custom (non-filled) shapes are given an arbitrary
                    rotation automatically
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org

Description:
When creating one of the following shapes:

- Curve
- Polygon
- Polygon (45°)
- Freeform Line

An arbitrary rotation value is given to the object automatically.

- This is inconsistent: the filled equivalent of these 4 shape types do not get
a rotation automatically assigned.
- This is unexpected: why is a new object already "rotated"?
- This is inconvenient: for example, if one writes text in the shape, one would
expect it to be horizontal by default. It follows that arbitrary rotation
instead. (see attached document for examples)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Draw
2. Choose one of the unfilled "shapes and polygons"
3. Draw several examples of random shapes
4. Observe the rotation value in "Properties sidebar > Line" section (or
"Right-click > Position and Size..." for a Polygon)



Actual Results:
A rotation is given to a new object.

Expected Results:
No rotation is assigned to a new object.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
