Topaz Photo AI v3.1.1 - v3.1.2

Is there a reason why photos shot in “portrait” orientation (maybe that one has a better expression, sorry if that’s the case) shows up as rotated in the film strip?

They do show ok in the main view and also come out right after applying most enhancements (I say most), but:

If I rotate and crop any photo showing up rotated (portrait orientation) in the film strip, this:



becomes this:

It might not show that much in this one (yeah, it shows) but when processing people they get “squeezed” (shorter and wider) real bad.

Can anyone reproduce?
Portrait orientation, crop and rotate a couple of degrees…

Edit - added my crop & rotate selection
Edit 2: This does not happen in GAI. There it crops and rotates fine and the export comes out as expected.
