Erk. Pilot error - many thanks for your time!

Thanks! An edited version of the file is uploaded, still showing the same behaviour.

Thanks for the response! In fact, the selected layer is NOT part of a group, it is a discrete layer. The blue bounding box correctly encompasses the selected layer, but the toolbox references the shape and size of the background layer. I can upload a couple of screenshots...

Selecting a layer does indeed select that layer but the SHAPE of the selection is that of the largest item in the layer list - in this case the lowest item in the list, which is the background. So, as the background is much larger than the selected layer, I have to zoom out to a ludicrous degree in order to see the effect of my required rotation or scaling. Any thoughts?
