Window backwards in wall

Can anyone tell me why this one window wants to orient itself backwards (i.e. the exterior is facing the interior)? 

 

I've got 2 windows in this wall that are identical - for some reason the one is correct while the other is not. 

 

Thanks!

The long wall (that I drew a red box around) is checked "No Room Definition." Since that area is not a Room, but there is a defined Room behind the window, the window thinks that side is the exterior:

Uncheck "No Room Definition" and the window flips:

The window is not backwards. The exterior casing is smaller than the interior, this is the opposite of the other windows.

How do you suppose that OP caused this without manual editing of the casing? Default settings would not get this result.

 

It is more likely as Chris indicated that there is some issue with which side of the wall Chief considers to be the interior.

Strange but when I opened the drawing from the drop box, both windows seemed ok. 

 

Now this has nothing to do with the problem, but the statistics can all be handled with macros as well as the window labels.  Saves you tons of typing, and keeps everything coordinated.  Change a window and the label updates automatically.

I like the font and the drawing style, very nicely done and arranged.
