<![CDATA[M5Flow Blockly Screen rotate issue]]>If I develop a simple Blockly (M5Flow) layout for rotating the screen, this does not work. When I look at the underlying Python code I noticed the "lcd.setRotation()" code ends up at the start of the code, and not at the spots where I would expect it (for this example in the button code blocks)

Blockly Code:
0_1590177150236_944a0098-9359-4515-9362-d286beb9aaf9-image.png

Python Code:

from m5stack import *
from m5ui import *
from uiflow import *
lcd.setRotation(1)
lcd.setRotation(3)

setScreenColor(0x222222)

label0 = M5TextBox(123, 111, "Text", lcd.FONT_Default,0xFFFFFF, rotate=0)

def buttonA_wasPressed():
  # global params
  pass
btnA.wasPressed(buttonA_wasPressed)

def buttonB_wasPressed():
  # global params
  pass
btnB.wasPressed(buttonB_wasPressed)

If I copy/paste the "lcd.setRotation()" code blocks into the button blocks, the code works properly on the device. But when I switch back to Blockly, this solution is reverted. I'm having this issue with firmwares 1.4.5.1 and 1.5.2

Just after using this function, the rest of the graphic functions will draw on the screen in a different orientation. So it seems to me that where this instruction does not need to be right at the beginning of the program.
