[opensource-dev] Found long-standing prim rotation bug: BUG-885

[Darien Caldwell]

I'm a little unsure what "Edge on rotation" means. I can rotate a prim on
every axis in-world with snap off, and it never snaps. At least, not unless
I make it snap by engaging the Angle ring outside the circumfrence of the
rotation handle. Then it snaps as it should.

I hope your patch isn't breaking this functionality, it's intended and
desirable.
