Cursor arrows on crop bounding box facing opposite directions

Premiere Pro v 23.1

Apple Silicon

 

When I select a clip in the Timeline, then select Crop in the Effect Controls window and hover over the program monitor to manually drag the edges/corners of the crop to where I want them, the 2-way arrow icon on the cursor is facing the wrong direction.

 

Bahda!¡

Rotation is set to -90.  The crop is rotated too. Hence the optical illusion of rotated arrows.

Interesting. That makes sense, but I'm curious if this could be considered a bug of sorts. I suppose it wouldn't be that easy to rotate a cursor in realtime, but this is still mildly annoying. Am I the only one?

IMO it is not a bug. Rotation rotates the clip and everything in it,

Use the transform effect as source clip effect for rotation. Crop will stay as is.

I have no idea what's going on, but I'm a great believer in workarounds to get the job done.   As a workaround, can you manually enter the numbers or drag over the number entry area...?    You can also select the rectangle in the opacity controls to crop...

P.S. Resetting Preferences does not work, unfortunately.
