I have been going through many old images with digiKam to tag and otherwise organize them. When I rotate images, a thin strip of the image is cut off and placed on the opposite side. If I rotate the image back, the damage gets undone. Here is an example of this phenomenon:
Example Image

Thank you for reading.
Hi @dewbsku and welcome to the Manjaro community
This seems like an issue that might best be handled by Digikam Support (KDE). The KDE forum might also be helpful.
If you save a copy of the rotated image, does this artifact appear on the saved image?

I don’t know if you’re bug has been reported or fixed, the place to report this and to search for it is: https://bugs.kde.org/
Thank you two for pointing me to other resources. I will check those out. I also just realized that while I put Gwenview in the title, I forgot to also mention that the issue happens in the body of the post.
Yes, I can rotate in digiKam and the artifacts appear immediately. Or when using Gwenview rotate, save or save as new image, then reopen the image and the artifacts are there.

It seems like an issue with shared dependency or library; though I don’t know which it would be. Being that KDE develops both digiKam and Gwenview, they would obviously be in a better position to comment.
Perhaps open a bug report with KDE. Search their bugs list for anything similar (they tend not to appreciate duplicates).
At face value, I doubt this is a Manjaro issue. However, more information about your system might help others who may have specific insight.
Please post the output of:
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
(Note that personal information is filtered by this command.)
Other information that might be relevant:
Which specific kernel version is used *
Which graphic drivers are used
Are you using X11 or Wayland
[*] It’s often possible that switching kernel might produce positive results, but I can’t be certain in this instance.
I’m afraid I can’t help much beyond this.
I’ll chime in again, if anything else comes to mind.
Cheers.

I am using the open source nouveau drivers. The other info is in the original post.
Thank you for your help, I will look around the bugs list and post if I can’t find a related issue. If I learn more, I will make sure to post here.

I made a bug report on the kde bugs site.
This is the response I got.

We (digiKam) set the libJpeg option “transformoption.perfect = true”. From a libJpeg version >= 8, this prevents a lossless rotation from being carried out on images where this is not possible, usually because the division factor of the side length is not 8. Also see Bug 320107. Check the digiKam Help-> Component Information to see which libJpeg version digiKam is using. If you use a version smaller than 8, you have to deactivate the lossless rotation in the digiKam setup.
The libJpeg version I saw in the component information is below 8. To get around the issue in digiKam, I set Settings > Configure Digikam > Metadata > Rotation > Rotate by only setting a flag.
Thank you again for your help.

Yes, I can rotate in digiKam and the artifacts appear immediately. Or when using Gwenview rotate, save or save as new image, then reopen the image and the artifacts are there.
I’d simply never approve/select to save an altered (by rotating it) image
unless I was sure of the outcome.
(it needs to be the same - just the orientation being different)
