When using the new "Lock Aspect Ratio" feature and adjusting an element’s size using the Ctrl + Arrow shortcut, the resizing behavior is inconsistent and unstable. The size increments/decrements in an unexpected pattern, and the element’s position also shifts unintentionally.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Select a rectangle (or any element) in Figma.
- Enable the "Lock Aspect Ratio" feature.
- Use the Ctrl + Arrow (Left/Right/Up/Down) shortcut to adjust the element's size.
- Observe:
- The size does not increase/decrease smoothly.
- Initially, the size changes by 0.5px for 5-6 steps.
- Then, it starts breaking into irregular decimal values (e.g., 0.49px, 0.48px, etc.).
- The position of the element also changes, shifting towards the direction of the arrow key pressed.
- If the element is positioned at the edge of an artboard, it moves slightly instead of just resizing.
Expected Behavior:
- The element should resize in stable increments (e.g., 1px per step) without decimal inconsistencies.
- The element’s position should remain unchanged while resizing.
Actual Behavior:
- The element resizes in unpredictable decimal increments.
- The position shifts while resizing.
Environment:
- Figma Web/Desktop
- Windows 10/11 (issue may also exist on macOS)
- Latest version (as of February 2025)

Additional Notes:
This issue disrupts precise resizing workflows, especially for pixel-perfect UI designs. It appears to be a bug related to the "Lock Aspect Ratio" logic interfering with the Ctrl + Arrow shortcut behavior.
Would appreciate any insights from the Figma team or community on a potential fix/workaround. Thanks!
