Hello all,
I am trying to fix transformation behavior for LPE (translation, scaling, rotation). I think I found a fundamental problem.
It seems like stitching needs to be done in un-transformed space?

Well, the question is if it's more important to be mathematically correct or "visually" correct. What it does now is what I would expect it to do. Perhaps I'm just more technical in how I perceive things. But, I'd like to know what others think.
I've attached Johan's file with a changed visual example and it's an actual lpe this time. It looks the same as his, the difference is that I used the node tool to move the bottom guide path to where it should be and NOT changing the size or orientation of the top line. If either guide path of the stitched curves is changed, I expect every little change to be reflected visually. At this point, I probably have more experience with this feature than anyone else and I can tell you it's always done what I've expected. Then again, could be my technical mind and workflow.
So, imho, what he's looking for works as it should, the math is all correct. It's really just about how you make it happen. If I'm not incorrect, a similar issue would be the reason there's a toggle button for scaling the radii of rounded corners on rectangles (what people expect or need when transforming is different, it's really a convenience option imho). Anyone else want to chime in?
