Vector feat. from WKT fucked up in IE but fine in Firefox, and Chrome

[hauxon]

I'm doing a map where I draw a feature by using the DrawFeature control and then store it in a DB as WKT. Then I'm calling the feature back by quering the DB and parsing the WKT string to a feature. Works correctly with Firefox and Chrome but the vector renders shifted few meters and rotated in Internet Explorer (both IE7 and IE8). I does not matter if in witch browser I draw the feature, the WKT saves correctly and the same way from IE and Firefox. But when rendering the feature back IE gets it wrong. I have projection suspected but can't find anything wrong, the map has EPSG:3057. I do harvest the bounds from the feature after reading it from WKT and all browsers zoom in and set center correctly.

Here's an image to illustrate the problem:



Here's how I'm reading and inserting the feature:

	//Create an array of features from WKT
	var wkt = new OpenLayers.Format.WKT();
	arr = new Array(wkt.read(xmlHttp.responseText));
		
	// Create a vector feature from wktArray (only one element for LINESTRING used here)
	var feat = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector();
	feat = wkt.read(xmlHttp.responseText);//arr[0];
		
	// Add feature to Drawings layer
	getLayerByName("Drawings").addFeatures([feat]);
		
	// Lets zoom down to the feature
	var drawingBounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds();
	drawingBounds = feat.geometry.getBounds();
	map.zoomToExtent(drawingBounds);
	map.setCenter(drawingBounds);

Thanks!

I'm using OpenLayers version 2.8

More info.

This is how the WKT string looks like: (not same feature as in the image above)
LINESTRING(325652 393395,326065 393413)

The same problem occurs with POLYGON.

POINT however is rendered in correct position in IE.

Even more info: :)

IE debugger tells me this
Line: 1081
Error: Unspecified error.

OpenLayers.js:
1081 this._object.send(vData);

Here's a link illustrating the problem on our dev server:

I've found a solution to my problem.

A fellow programmer copy-pasted a style for the lines from another project.  The offending part was:

var style_blue = OpenLayers.Util.extend({}, layer_style);
style_blue.rotation = 45;

Seems like rotation style only works with Internet Explorer with lines.  I don't know if the lines rotating in IE is a bug or the lines not rotating in other browsers.

Error in line 1081 mentioned in previous post is not related to the problem.
