Weird angled grating/grid bug

Description
I finally got this bug again! It's really hard and random to do, but sometimes when you try to rotate a grating(glass), you get a 45 deg angle instead of the normal angle ^^"

I got the first one then copy it and try to extend it, rotate it again, test interactions with other objects, etc... Here is the result of my tests X)

I'm still not sure how to reproduce the bug exactly, but here is what I did to get this one :
- Place a grating on a wall
- Copy it (Ctrl+Click)
- Rotate the copy at 90 deg
- Extend the copy so that you get a collision error with another object
- Move the copy of 1 block on the wall to avoid the error
- Rotate the pannel at 180 deg

And when I did the last rotation the bug happened ^^ Maybe I pressed by error the Shift and or Ctrl keys during the process that probably cause the bug...

If anyone is able to determine a clear and always-working method to get this bug, I think we should give it to Valve so that they could fix it as soon as possible ;)

@Mandrew: 180 deg = half a turn, and as I explained in the description it's a bit random so I'm not even sure that you can get it by following those steps.

And panel 180 degree?

How do we rotate it?

I've had this happen before too. Tried recreating it for use in another map by pressing random buttons while rotating it, but could not get it again. :/

@Mr.Johno : Once again : this can looks great, but this is basically a huge bug of the editor X) Posted this to make it known so that they can fix it quickly ^^

this looks pretty cool. would be good to make a glass house out of it

I just get the bug again in a map I am developping!
I simply put a new glass panel on a wall and want to rotate it 90°;
but can not reproduce it with the same sequence...

Well... Hope someone will find it one day X)

I don't have a method; I copy, move and rotate an original panel hanged to the roof.
