Is this similar to what your issue is?

Are the objects actually disappearing or are they just moving their X Y coordinates?

Moving their x y coordinates. Objects disappear off the container. Thought this was fixed in an earlier version but it seems to reappear. refer to post “editing lines”

I tried to recreate this on my computer here without success. I tried with various different shapes. I was able to rotate them without any problems and they never changed their X Y coordinates.

When you start to rotate the object, is the red cross that is centered on the object still centered on that object?

I stand corrected, we were able to reproduce this. I will talk with the developers about this.

Were you rotating them using the “rotate 90 degrees left/right” buttons? If so, then the issue has been fixed for 7.5.1
