Magic Rotating Prims

Is anyone else experienicng this problem? After rezzing an object (a house in my case) everything appears fine. When i touch a linked section, it rotates by .25 on two axis and no matter how many times I fix it, I just keeps rotating to the .25 off position. If I unlink the parent prim, the REST of the object snaps back into place. This is now occuring on a few different homes I rez, and it seems to randomly appear on different sections on the same house on different rezzes.

The initial proble occurred when I had a parent prim with the rotation 0, 270, 180
and most of the sections that issues appear in seem to have that rotation. But since that discovery I have had this problem with numerous prims in other rotations.

This is a really big issue.. and I have found it doesnt just happen on the houses. My associate told me this morning it was occurring in her furniture as well.

Anyone else experiencing this or found a fix?

Yes this is an annoying addition to the bug list - I have seen it mentioned elsewhere so we are not the only ones.

Fortunately I am not doing any large scale building at the moment - but this affects just putting down any object and then trying to align it - objects just rotate by themselves.

Lets look forward to 1.14 (perhaps not.........)

I've been seeing this to a more random degree on really tortured prims.

I was using several twisted objects in a build of mine, lined up to form a fairly seamless edge. I was extremely pleased with my results.

Then suddenly I messed with other prims of the build and looked back at the twisted section, and there was now a huge line where one prim was overlapping the other.

At first I thought I had messed up and accidentally changed the size #'s or SL had reverted the #'s back to something old. Then I saw the rotation had been moved by a degree of +0.95 on one twisted prim and -0.95 on the other.

I'm curious due to some mathematical relationship I noticed on this with mine.

The prims that were randomly rotating on you, were they twisted? The only prims on mine that were behaving this way were twisted by 47/47....which 47+47 is 94...eerily close to the 0.95 that they kept changing their rotation by repeatedly.

This rotation would happen for no reason, but it was always the same amount of rotation and always only on the twisted prims.

Not twisted

The prims i am using are simple hollowed cubes. (walls with windows)
Particularly ones with scripts in them and always the parent prim.

I am also not doing any new builds currently.. but it seems to be occuring with increasing frequency as clients try to rez house I made months ago and that is of great concern to me. I already get a load of IMs and Offlines and this is making my life hell.
