Description

I'm trying to place some labels using an attribute field showing the rotation in degrees and the actuall rotation works fine. What doesn't work is the placement of some of the labels. It seems like if they are rotated in some angles the labels end up on the spot but some doesn't. I think it has something to do with the value of the angles. The labels that are rotated more than 180 degrees tend to get misplaced. The ones with less than 180 is fine.

Attached image shows some rotated labels. Notice the red dot wich is the point of the shape file where the label should start.

Possible fix for placement of labels with offset from point mode and rotation (refs #12217)

Oh one more thing. It uses placements with Offset from point taken from the attribute table. When using Around point it all looks fine. The only problem then is that some of the labels should have an other offset than standard (left, right, centered, above etc).

Oskar, allow me to be totally off topic here and say how great the map you've attached looks like :)

I'm trying to understand the description but it's hard for me to figure out without testing it and I've never built QGIS from scratch, I've always used the builds from Kyngchaos.

I've pushed this fix to master - you should be able to test after the next round of nightlies are built. Can you confirm whether this fixes the issue?
