Dec 27, 2021 at 19:54 comment added joojaa @SzczepanHołyszewski it is unfortunately common to see people who have wild ideas how rotation works and thus you get very wild design ideas around it.
Dec 26, 2021 at 22:23 comment added user82991 Maybe he has used Photoshop. It works in the same way except to activate rotation one must at first drag the rotation handle. After it every point outside the layer area works. Photoshop's approach has a little redundancy. BTW there are many real world things moved by hand without touching. Some persons who do it: Orchestra conductor, traffic police, Theremin player and an infantry squad leading corporal in a combat situation.

Dec 26, 2021 at 21:55 comment added Szczepan Hołyszewski Thanks! "The mouse cursor must be outside the rotated area" was the missing bit of completely unguessable UI. Seriously, whose ever idea was it that in order to interact with something in the SINGLE way that the ACTIVE TOOL is supposed to interact with things, you need NOT to GRAB THE THING, but to WAVE YOUR HAND AT CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM THE THING? Was the UI designer from a race of naturally telekinetic beings? Is that how they would turn (i.e. rotate) a doorknob?
