Strange column behaviour

[Anonymous]

AC 11 does not recognize when a column is rotated! It happens when the column is placed via the Rotated construction method and when it is rotated with the rotate command. Alt-clicking also does not have any result!
The only way AC recognizes the rotation is if it had been entered in the Column default settings dialog box.

Weird!

My AC11 rotates columns (with command-E or the pet palette), I can place them with the rotated construction method.
But: When I check the settings box of one of the rotated columns, it still reads 0.00°. If I change the rotation with the settings box, what I do is I rotate the column against its crosshair!
Maybe still weird, but works.

So, I am not alone!
Perhaps we shell apply the rules for upgrading Windows to AC too?
Rule: "Do not install the new Windows till Service pack 2 is out!"

Actually, I'm not sure this is a bug, really. Maybe just a less than complete implementation of a new "feature" - I do find some logic in that you place columns along a grid, and the crosshairs relate to the grid, and that you can rotate the column vs. the crosshairs... well I didn't explain that very concisely, did I?
