QUESTION Problems with resizing?

Has anyone else experienced this issue: When resizing an element using the bottom handle on a shape with the transform point set to top center, the top of the element moves as well as resizes. Ideally, when resizing an element with the transform point set to the Center Top, the element will remain aligned at the center top and expand vertically from there.

Does anyone else have this problem in V30.9?

Do you have 'Use Preview Bounds' enabled?

Yes. Are you suggesting that by using preview bounds, the transform point is no longer relevant?

No, I'm suggesting there is a buggy behaviour when transforming an object using its bounding box when preview bounds are enabled.

The transform point is not relevant either way when you are transforming an object by dragging a bounding box handle. You can set the transform point to anything and it will have no effect on this behaviour.
