Stacks: multiple bugs

[Fritz_H]

Hi,

- when creating a stack the image orientation is not recognized. (stack is shown upside down, when opened seperately the images are shown correctly, pics taken with Galaxy S20+)

- issues of the stacking-method selector (?):

- when clicking on the "X"-icon a menu pops up ("mean", "median".. )- it does react to the mouse-scrollwheel, 
  but grabbing the scroll bar with left-click results in moving the stack-layer instead of moving the list.

- as soon as this happened, the pop up menu is "stuck" - you can move the application window around - the popup menu stays in place. Left-click makes the menu disappear.

(Windows 10-22H2 Pro, German-Austria)

I'm not seeing this with my test images, can you please provide a .ZIP of these, such that I can try stacking here? If you'd like a private upload link, please don't hesitate to ask.

I've been able to replicate both of these issues and I'm getting them logged with our team now - many thanks

Thanks for providing these for me! I have stacked these here and the images appear in the correct orientation - 

This is likely due to the Forums changing the metadata in the image when they were uploaded. As mentioned previously, could you please ZIP these images into a folder, then provide this ZIP folder here? This will ensure the metadata of the image remains unchanged, so that I can replicate the reported issue

Here they are.

Weird. Happens here on Mac OS 12.7

Many thanks for that!

I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue here, it appears as though your images have Orientation: Bottom Right set in the EXIF data, causing this issue when using New Stack - interestingly this doesn't occur with a HDR or Focus Merge.

I'm logging this with our developers as a bug now, to be resolved in a future update.

I hope this helps
