So if I use barrel roll on the mirrored object I always rotate in the WRONG direction 😀 because it rolls in the other direction. Because barrel roll is also mirrored - not sure if it would be better if barrel roll works always in the direction you roll 🤔 It’s like driving a reverse steering bike 😂

Is there any indication about when this can be fixed? The barrel roll with the move tool is something I’ve raved about on a course I created, and said it was one very good reason to use Nomad over certain other 3d sculpting packages which don’t offer it. Just that one ‘barrel roll with the move tool’ feature is one of the most exciting/creative bits of sculpting functionality I’ve seen in years.
