Possible problem with spriteTrimmed sprite sheets with negative x scaling

I’m using TexturePacker to create a sprite sheet with spriteTrimmed set to true. If I play an idle animation normally everything is okay. However, I’m also using a negative x scale value to turn my character around. When I do this, the animation moves from side to side as if the trimming is not being accounted for correctly.

e.g. playing an idle animation using:

horse:scale(1.3, 1.3) – everything okay

horse:scale(-1.3, 1.3) – gives the following effect … http://twit.io/2GC

I wonder if this is a bug or if there is any other way of reflecting characters on screen that might work.

How do other people reverse (mirror) a sprite? Surely, you don’t create another mirrored sprite set?

I had no replies to my original bug report so I’m bumping the thread with this question.
