Ah, now I see what you are doing differently. You guys are activating
the tool from the Layer->Transform->Arbitrary Rotation menu. I haven't
done this in years. Indeed, there seems to be a bug in the Rotate tool
when it is being called from the menus. You may want to make sure that
this is reported at bugzilla.gnome.org.
