Hi Dov,
   I apologize for the lack of clarity: I am not talking about editing an 
existing document. I just opened inkskape, selected the square/rectangle
drawing tool, placed and dimensioned it on the canvas, clicked until I got
the arrows indicating rotation and tried to tilt it to the left. Instead of
turning, it changed it height. No matter what I tried, it refused to
rotate.
   Did anyone experience similar problems?

Thanks, Avraham
