I use Marble 2.2.20 from KDE Applications 17.08.1. If I do the following: 1. Pick the globe view (rather than one of the projections). 2. Left-click-and-drag the globe vertically to rotate it, until it is upside down. 3. Try to left-click-and-drag the globe horizontally. then step 3 will rotate the globe in the wrong way. This used to work. I believe that this regression is caused by https://phabricator.kde.org/D5650 (the right-click rotation support) removing the d->m_leftPressedDirection flag.
Note that you can also see this in action together with the new right-click-and-drag rotation: 1. Pick the globe view (rather than one of the projections). 2. Left-click-and-drag the globe vertically to rotate it, until it is upside down. 3. Now right-click-and-drag it to be upside up again. 4. Try to left-click-and-drag the globe horizontally. and you get a view that's optically indistinguishible from the view before step 2, but rotates the wrong way in step 4. But this bug also happens without using the new right-click-and-drag rotation at all.

Looks like this one was fixed at least. (I cannot reproduce it.)
Actually no, I was doing it wrong. The bug only happens if the globe goes upside down through vertical left-click-and-drag past the pole. It does NOT happen if you turn it upside down with right-click-and-drag. But as I explained in comment 1, it does happen if you do both, where the globe looks normal, but rotates horizontally the wrong way.
(So, to be clear, this is NOT fixed.)
