Morning,

After the latest update, it seems that the text is on the different side. Normally when selecting a plane the text is directly readable. Is this correct ?

Since you are in 3D space, you can look at it from this direction, and the other direction. If you look at it from the back it will be reversed.

Hi, No this is not the case. If you work on the right direction it now mirrors it…So after your update it is now a different behaviour, I do not see the advantage/improvement, but maybe you have a meaning for it… See below

I see what you mean. So for new text the direction is broken in some cases. We’re looking into this, thanks for reporting it.
