Shift-Click to flip shortcut not working

Describe the bug
shift-click to flip shortcut not working

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use selection tool to select the molecule
2. Shift-Click the molecule
3. Nothing happened.

Another thing: The shortcut for both mirror-vertical and mirror-horizontal is shift-click?

@tomyan112 I am not 100% sure without running the application, but I think that you have to Shift-Click on the Flip or Mirror buttons, when a molecule is selected, so it may be the tooltip which is wrong.

@deadlyvices please confirm.

Yes, the shortcuts are as you say. Both are working as expected. I cannot reproduce this bug.

I think that @tomyan112 may be shift clicking on the selected molecule not the button, hence nothing is happening.

@deadlyvices please confirm.

Then this shortcut is useless, because I can just click the button, not necessary to shift-click

@deadlyvices can you please explain to @tomyan112 what the difference is between the two types of clicks on these buttons.

[deadlyvices]

If you just click the button then you will create a mirror image of the molecule. All the stereochemistry is inverted. Shift-click on the button, and you will actually rotate it through 180 degrees: all the stereochemistry is preserved which means that when the molecule inverts the stereobonds invert along with it, which preserves the stereochemistry.

Closed as this is by design
