Cura: Y and Z scale handles are swapped for support blockers (4.7)

Created on 28 Aug 2020 · 3Comments · Source: Ultimaker/Cura

Application version
(The version of the application this issue occurs with.)
4.7

Platform
(Information about the operating system the issue occurs on. Include at least the operating system and maybe GPU.)
Windows 10

Printer
(Which printer was selected in Cura?)
N/A but Creality Ender 3

Reproduction steps

Select an object
Select the "support blocker" tool and add a support blocker.
Select the support blocker object
Select the Scale/Resize tool
Uncheck "uniform scaling"
Move the green Y handle - Z scale changes. Move the blue Z handle - Y scale changes.

Screenshot(s)
A screen shot adds no value in this instance.

Actual results
Z scale changes when the Y handle is dragged.
Y scale changes when the Z handle is dragged.

Expected results
Obviously, dragging the Y handle should change the Y scale and the Z handle should change the Z scale.

Project file
Any object (just add a support blocker, for example).

Log file
N/A - this is an interactivity issue.

Additional information
I don't think there's anything further to add. Y and Z scale handles are just swapped.

They are only swapped if the model you added them to is rotated.

Quoting myself from that issue:

In the latest release of Mesh Tools, there is a function to "Apply transformation to mesh". This applies the current scale and rotation to the selected mesh(es) and resets their local coordinate systems. After that, non-uniform scaling should apply to the proper axis (until you rotate the model again). This could be a workaround until the issue is properly fixed in Cura.
