Rotate component in 1.4 is terrible HELP

Question

Hitting the spacebar while moving a component in the PCB editor used to rotate the component from 0 -> 90 -> 180 -> 270 -> 0. This has been the way ECAD works since I got out of college. This no longer works in circuit studio. Spacebar during move shoots the component off screen ussually (heaven's knows where... seems like it mirrors on the xy axis or something crazy). Now I need to push into the component attributes and type in the new angle for EVERY COMPONENT in my layout... This is terrible bug and requires some attention ASAP.

I realize this the "HotFix" thread, but this requires immediate attention.

This bug is making this product terrible in my opinion. When will we see a fix for this?

Thanks Steve, I found that sometimes it works on a single component (like the first time you export you schematic to the PCB, and if you select the component through the "move" button on the ribbon), but most of the time and indeterminately so the rotation doesn't work even with a single component. My normal work flow is to click the component to select it, then drag it around as needed and hit the spacebar to change the angle. I found the best work around is once I am dragging the component around I hit brings up component properties, the gets me to the angle, and key it in.
