Describe the bug

The rotation in the darkroom preview get lost.

Steps to reproduce

If I rotate a picture (in the 'rotate an perspective' module), display this picture in a second darkroom image window, switch back to lighttable and move the mouse to the darktable preview window, the rotation of this picture will there be lost.

Expected behavior

The rotation should be the same as of the (lighttable) thumbnail.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rotation workflow across the darkroom preview, second image window, lighttable, and darktable preview window. Trace how the preview obtains image orientation and compare it with the lighttable thumbnail; done means the preview retains the rotated orientation after switching views.
