Many thanks

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the Rotate & Perspective module using darktable 5.5.0+815.ge3bd787650 and the reported steps on Linux. Investigate why clicking the module header does not retain the adjustment; done means a rotation or perspective correction remains applied after saving and reopening the image.
