I have found a bug that I am able to duplicate on both a Windows 98SE desktop and XP laptop.

It involves the alignment of image objects that have been rotated. Follow these steps to duplicate it:

1. Use "Add a Picture" button to add a small GIF image.

2. Use the rotate/skew tool to rotate the image. (I was rotating 35 degrees, so go with that)

3. Copy and paste multiple copies of the image using Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V. (I have 7 copies - 8 total).

4. Select all of the images in one selection.

5. Go to Arrange->Align->Top to align the tops of each image.

Now, when you click outside of the selection area to deselect the images, they will align diagonally at the same angle the original image was rotated at. This also works with bottom alignment, but not with center. Tinker enough, and it will crash the program on Win98.

Seems like the quick fix would just be some code to prevent the top/bottom alignment functions from using the rotation angle as a vector.
