You can mirror objects by scaling them with -1. But i agree that is not really usable, a shorter an easier way should be added.

Tried here but changing X or Y to "-1" converts it measure to "1". Tried also adding only the "-" symbol but it rotates the object 180°.

Tried also adding only the "-" symbol but it > rotates the object 180°. Yes you are right, what I wrote is not correct. In the "Geometry" docker you have to put a negative sign before the current value for width/height (next to the x/y controls). That will mirror the objects and will update the width/height back to positive values.

I've tried also with arrows and another 'special shapes': works, but when you click another thing (an empty area of drawing, for example) it returns to its original rotation/flip.

Indeed, you are right. Seems like a real bug after all. I will have to investigate.
