Can't rotate anything anymore

I can’t really get behind this bug. I can’t rotate anything anymore. No matter if it’s a final build glyph in a existing file or if I am opening a new file and just want to rotate a square for example. I’m also updated to the latest version of glyphs.

Anyone maybe with the same issue, or any clue how to fix that?

Thank you guys in advance!

How are you trying to rotate? With the rotate tool (R)? Or with the rotation button in the transformations panel?

@SCarewe I always used the rotation button in the transformation panel. And it stopped working from one day to the other. Strange!

But thanks for your reply. With the rotate tool (R) it still works. :slight_smile: At least I can use this option though, thank you!

Also the tool to mirror objects/glyphs doesn’t work anymore… Would be really helpful if someone has a clue where this could come from!?

I think it’s because you changed accidently this :

:man_facepalming: thank you Hugo! Could have solved this on my own. :pray:t3:

But how can I get back to the origin? Does the colour make any difference? Mine is pink? I can’t neither rotate anything by using the R on my keyboard nor by using the side menu. I would be so happy if this problem could be solved. :smiling_face_with_tear: :orange_heart:

The color is the selection color that you set in the system.

What is your origin? Can you upload a screenshot of your transformations panel?

And which exact build of the app are you using?

Can you show a screenshot of you glyphs and the sidebar ?

Thank you so much for responding so quickly. It is weird because I just tried it again and now it is working but now its the cmd z short cut that isn’t. I honestly think its a system bug at this point. I use Glyphs 3…

Ok, I have a guess why everything didn’t work or at least the cmd z shortcut! It wasn’t because of glyphs it was because I switched from a german to an English keyboard (fn) therefore the keyboard automatically changes. But why I wasn’t able to use the angle tool remains a mystery. But maybe it has something to do with it anyway.

thank u Hugo!

U really saved my life. I kept struggling this stupid transformation panel this whole day until I saw your post.
