P: Remove brush strokes appear in the wrong place on rotated images

[johnrellis]

Brush strokes made with the Remove tool appear in the wrong place on a portrait image, rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. This occurs in LR 13.4 / Windows 11, but it doesn't occur on Mac OS 14.5.

To reproduce:

1. Download and import this photo:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ko89pejpmicyqie/rotated-remove-brush-bug.2024.07.01.CR3?dl=0

 Observe that it hasn't been rotated to portrait mode :

2. With Exiftool, observe that the camera has recorded landscape orientation:

[EXIF] Orientation : Horizontal (normal)

3. Do Photo > Rotate Left.

4. In Develop, open the Remove tool and select Remove mode.

5. Brush anywhere on the photo and observe that the brush strokes appear on the wrong place on the iamge, rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.  See the attached screen recording.

6. Select the other modes (Heal, Clone) and observe similar misbehavior.

Thank you!

I'm using Lightroom Classic v13.4 on an Intel based iMac with a Radeon Pro 580X 8GB graphics card running on Sonoma 14.5.

I can confirm that switching on GPU processing fixes the problem.
