Canvas rotation doesn't rotate handles along with it

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • rotate the canvas
  • draw a rectangle
  • switch to selection tool
  • look at handles

What happened?

The scaling / rotation handles are not rotated, but placed in the correct position. This gives the impression as if the object scaling / rotation would happen on different axes than it actually does.

What should have happened?

The scaling / rotation handles should rotate with the objects.

For those handles where it makes a difference whether they are 'diamond-shaped' or 'square' (which is essentially the same, except for rotation), I'm not sure what should be happening. I would probably still rotate them along with the canvas, but other people's preferences may be different.
