Problem

When parenting a ImageButton into a frame that also has UIListLayout as a child (sibling to ImageButton), the Rotation property of ImageButton is ignored. This happens in both Studio and the live game.

The beta features that I have enabled are as follows:

  • 3D Importer in ACE
  • glTF Export
  • Texture Generator

As for plugins, I have a bunch that are installed, but very few are enabled. The ones that are enabled are listed below with links to their details page on the Roblox store website:


Expectations

What I expect to happen is that the property is not ignored and the image is rotated.


Visuals

In Studio:

Copying the entire window into a fresh studio window with just a baseplate (no code) gives the same result:

Reproduction

To reproduce the issue, perform the following steps:

  1. Import attached file into Studio.
  2. Place under game.StarterGui
  3. Observe results.

This has always been the case, pretty sure it’s intended behaviour. Just put the rotated item under a frame

I haven’t seen anything in the documentation about this. However, if it is intended behavior, then it needs to be documented. I’ll wait for a Roblox engineer to give a definitive answer.

I mean it already been reported 4 years ago and was closed

I have never seen that document. I’ve only been working from the actual API documents. So that solves the issue then. I changed the image to a different one to represent “Up” without the rotation anyways.
