Boundingbox for sheared objects that have been converted to curve is wrong.

When you convert a sheared object to curves, it retains the bounding box of when it was not converted. I don't think this is correct.

What were you expecting?

Sheared, converted to curve:

I think, after it has been converted to a curve, the bounding box should look like the second image. CorelDraw also has a rectangular bounding box when I convert a sheared object. It might be how it is intended, but I thouht it odd.

Thanks for the examples.

As far as I can see, converting a sheared object to curves does not change its bounding box, and I don't think it should. But someone who knows more than I will have to comment on the correct behavior.

Hi Gremriel,

This is currently by design, however there isn't a way to fully 'reset' the bounding box which I what I believe you require. What you can do however is use the 'Cycle Selection Box' button to temporarily switch the bounding box to 'regular bounds' allowing you to scale 'normally'.

How about the old trick of drawing a larger rectangle over the object, and Intersecting? That gives a permanent reset of the bounding box for rotated objects, and might work for this case, too, if the temporary reset doesn't handle it.
