GIMP 2.10.30 on Xubuntu 20.04
While performing other operations, I have found that the entire frame of reference for gimp (image, guides, etc.) is rotated by holding Shift-B2 (middle mouse button) and dragging the mouse. [Note that this is NOT the same as using the Rotate tool to physically rotate the image itself withing the fixed overall frame of reference.] This always happens accidentally and I have found no way to reset the view back to normal.
Here are my questions:
1: Is this type of rotation documented in the manual?
2: Why would you want to do this? When you save the "rotated" image it seems to be the same as "non-rotated".
3: Is there any way to reset the view back to the normal exactly orthogonal position?
4: Is there a way to disable the Shift-B2 assignment so that this doesn't happen?
Thanks.
