Option to "protect" Type when Scaling/Rotating/Mirroring etc
Please add a "protect" button in the Type-menu. That way, when scaling, rotating, mirroring or similar, only the position point of the Type will be affected, but all other type-measurements (size, horizontal scale etc.) will remain unchanged.
See attached before / after-image with this option turned on.
(This is already a great feature in Adobe's Data-illustrator App.)

There’s a third-party solution for this, 'Text-Aware Reflect' by Astute Graphics:
https://docs.astutegraphics.com/subscribe/quickops/quickops-panel/text-aware-reflectIt offers mirroring only though, but another plugin they made allows resetting rotations (and other transformations) for text in bulk, Vector First Aid: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorfirstaid/vectorfirstaid-panel (search for 'Remove Text Transforms Button' specifically)
Also there are several free scripts that try to do the same, like ResetText by DTP Transit (Takano Masahiro / swwwitch)
