When resizing a rectangle or ellipse, or any sort of shape object, dimensions are tethered to the relative top-left corner of the shape—meaning that any increasing or decreasing of the width and height would happen relative to the shape’s top-left corner. This is helpful, since I can rotate an object 180°, and that resizing anchor would move with it, allowing me to adjust dimensions from the bottom right corner.
However, recently the shortcut associated with adjusting those dimensions (Cmd + Directional Arrows) now ignores this rule, making it so that resizing any shape with these shortcuts is always resized relative to the absolute top left corner, no matter the shape’s rotation. This requires me to make those adjustments solely using the Width and Height fields, which is pretty tedious.
Similarly, corner radii are also now anchored to the absolute top-left. But when multiple objects of different rotations are selected, then it uses the relative top-left corner. So I have to use a workaround by duplicating the object, selecting both, and then adjusting the corner radii.
I’m an icon designer, and I need predictable ways to edit rotated objects from any direction. These recent changes to the way dimensions and corner radii of shapes are edited is incredibly disruptive to my workflow, and makes my design process 10 times harder.
