Mecway 33 mirror/copy bug

In settings, I changed +Z to top. But when I use the mirror/copy tool, I need to select +z to mirror along the y plane.

Maybe I do not understand how the mirror tool should work. But it looks wrong to me.

    The +Z and +Y View orientation options are just a convenience for things like the default view orientation, the row of red icons and clicking on the triad arrowheads.

    Mirror with the Z option should mirror about a plane parallel to the XY plane. It could have been named XY instead of Z but I felt Z was clearer. If you're selecting Z and it's mirroring along the Y axis, that's a bug and I'd like to find out more.

    I tried to replicate the "bug" today with a clear mind. And it seems everything works fine. When the plane normal Y is selected, it mirrors about a plane parallel to the XZ. If Z is selected, it mirrors about a plane parallel to the XY. Everything seems to be working fine.

    I apologize for posting it without thoroughly reviewing it with a clear mind.

    btw, thank you for the great software. I've been using it for years!
