Looks like the reason for this is that the code doesn't actually make a
copy of the object until the final place. Any rotation done with the
middle mouse button will rotate the original as well, and this is
redrawn once the place happens (or if the page is panned or zoomed).

Since there isn't likely an easy fix for this, what are people's
thoughts on disabling the ability to rotate whilst copying until
Carlos's work is merged?

(I'm not sure if Carlos's patch fixes the problem, but I can't see the
point in having to do implement a complex fix it twice)
