Scaling and bounding box handle bugs in Grid Auto Layout

Issue 1:
Sometimes, when you try to resize objects inside grid auto layout by dragging one side, the opposite side moves instead. It’s extremely confusing. I can see how this makes sense in regular auto layout, but not in grid auto layout, especially when there aren’t any other objects on the grid. It seems to happen consistently with rotated or flipped objects, but I just experienced it with an object whose rotation was set to 0°. In the attached video, you can also see a strange jump while resizing.

Issue 2:
In grid auto layout, if you drag one side of an object but don’t align it exactly with a grid line, the resize handle on the opposite side disappears until you snap it back to the grid.

It’s also strange that I can’t option click to resize an object from its center point like you can outside of auto layout.

Please see the attached videos.
