1) If an unconnected component is selected and then rotated everything's OK. but if a connection (yellow line) is also selected then this also becomes part of the rotated entity. A long connection can mean the component can jump off screen and be lost!
2) If a reference name is rotated it tumbles across the screen rather than rotating about a point and returning back to its original position after 4 rotations (this only happens if "adjust text rotation (ensure readable)" is ticked)

I'm using 13.0.8
thanks

1) it does seem that having parts of tracks and/or connections selected in a multiple selection can cause odd 'shift' in the rotation centre as the selection is rotated. This is something we need to investigate and fix.

2) 'tumbling' behaviour reproduced, as you say it only happens with the 'ensure readable' tickbox on. Duly logged for a fix.

Please note that fixes will generally only go into the current v14 code. As that version has only been out for a month or so, there is a period of 'overlap' with v13 where we will still consider fixing critical problems in v13 but the issues you describe here would not fall into that category so would only be fixed in the latest version.
