Arrows in build mode

Is anyone else having issues with arrows in build mode? When i edit an attachment on my arm the arrows used to be, blue up and down, and red and green went side to side, now the blue is side to side at a diagonal angle, the green is apparently up and down at a diagonal angle. Is this a bug or something personal cause the linden told my friend she was gonna have to deal with it. Well I don't want to deal with it, it's not an improvement it's a pain if it was done on purpose, it is taking me 3 times as long to do something that took no time at all a few days ago, and they still don't look right when I'm done.

So am I just an idiot and doing something wrong, is this a bug or is it an improvement??

It's called "local coordinates." Or otherwise known as "something LL thought was a good idea and it really sucks, but we'll never see it changed again."

It's called "attachment point coordinates", which I have been glad to see because they almost completely eliminate the need for posing stands for quick touch-ups.

If you *want* global coordinates, use a posing stand and make the posing stand the basis for your relative coordinates.
