Hi,

This is an interesting problem that I believe was introduced to me with Altium 16 and 17.

Some text strings are set to orientation 180, which make them upside down (at least this was true for a few I checked, I haven't bothered checking all upside down texts I've seen so far).

They were not like this when they were originally created, so I am assuming there is some bug going on here?
Has anyone else noticed this?

(I even noticed this in a schematic symbol, which is really annoying to fix..)

It seems that the setting for "Display strings as rotated" was checked for some reason in newer versions. Maybe it's a new feature.
Can't say I've seen this behavior, but you can change defaults for almost everything editable in new document defaults. Perhaps your settings file got corrupted at some point and so sticks with you through upgrades.
