OSX El Capitan

Blender Version
Broken: 2.77a 2016-04-05 18:12 HASH abf6f08
Not sure about when it worked, just discovered the possibility ot making things easier in TexPaint

See attached file, In Edit Mode the selected face can be rotated out of view, then brouhgt to direct top view with Shift Numpad 7.

Go to Texture Paint mode with Face section Masking turned on, do the same - rotate away, then press the short cut and/or try the command from the UI. Both act as if you are using just numpad 7 and not Shift numpad 7, taking you just to Top View.

I think it is a bug, and if fixed woudl make painting on surfaces much easier. For now, I'm popping back and forth to edit mode.shift_7_bug_in_tex_paint.blend

Thanks for the report, but it's a missing feature, not a bug. Going there: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Development/Todo/Tools#Painting

Developer note:

The place to start digging is getTransformOrientation_ex. The function is simple skipping painting modes currently because there's no concept of active element in there. With some heuristic it could be made to work relatively correct tho.

Thank you for looking - I guess that I assumed that the use of the face selection meant that TexPaint mode had some sort of selection there, but I made a simple operator for now that shuffles back to edit mode, aligns, and then back to texpaint. I hope the functionality is added later then, or maybe once I learn to really code then I can help with that.
