I had a box that appear to be skewed. So I tried to grab and I saw numbers flashing on bottom window bar, but it kept getting overwritten with "Rectangle in layer Layer 1. Click selection to toggle scale/rotation handles."

Maybe that message should go somewhere else? Or the rotation percentage should be displayed somewhere else?

What is my workaround for now? Where can I see the number or where can I manually type it in?

I am on inkscape-21256 (from yesterday's snapshot).
