This one is a real truckload of old "Sh";

the image is rotated by 30 degrees, but the 'frame' of 165 * 126 pixels
is not;
the image resizing so that its points fit within the 'frame'.

derotated the image and returned it to its original size.
Perhaps the most telling experiment was when I did this:
set the angle of img "MG" to 90
the whole image, being rotated 90 degrees was distorted to fit within
the 'frame'; the effect being that the pictorial content was both
squeezed and stretched.
Needless to point out; that with the image at its original size, none of
these
probelms arise.
Normal behavior. If the image is locked, it is prevented from redrawing
its frame, so the image resizes inside the frame instead. To get the
behavior you want, unlock the image, rotate, resize, relock. It happens
pretty fast, but you'll need to check whether you also need to lock the
screen.
