Distorted view in develop module after rotating picture

Question

Upon rotating an image 90º (clockwise), it becomes completely distorted, albeit only in Develop mode, in Library (and, most fortunately, when exporting) it’s OK.

distorted in develop module (OK in filmstrip and library mode)

Rotating back (counterclockwise) doesn’t restore normal proportions. It’s as if the “canvas”would rotate, but the image would not, and instead be stretched to fill the new canvas.
Weird….
