Thanks so much for solving my problem:)   The answer was there under my nose all
the time  but I didn't register its importance until I read your reply.  In both
"straightening using the measure tool" and "straightening by corrective
rotation", then  using clipping with the "crop to result " option  gives a
result in which "Image: crop to content" gives what I want.

Thanks so much for your help:):)
