[Qgis-user] features saved to geoserver with swapped coordinates

One of the users who edits data of a geoserver instance reported the
following:
- she imported in qgis a gpx file
- she copied the features to a wfs layer connected to a remote
geoserver, the features were positioned correctly on the map
- she saved the data

When she checked the result on the site where the layer data are
publicly available, she found out that the data from the imported gpx
were not where they should've been.

She run qgis and found the features from the imported gpx now were not
in the correct position.

I checked the coordinates of the features in the gpx files and of the
imported ones and discovered that in geoserver the coordinates were swapped.
The features in the gpx are in northern Italy (approx coordinates lat
46, long 11), those saved in geoserver are in the sea north of Somalia
(approx. coords lat 11, long 46).

I checked the settings of the layer, of qgis, of the gpx, but everything
seems ok.

I tried the same operations on another device and everything worked as
expected.

What should I check?

Qgis 3.16.8-Hannover
Windows 10 Version 2009

Thank you
