Impossible to resize a page homothetically

[Wosven]

When I want to resize this page homothetically:

Once I entered 210, there's no other option but to get a square:

 

Only solution: taking a piece of paper and opening the calculator, or doing a test with a rectangle of the same size.

That's really annoying, different bugs related to this were already reported, it would be nice to have this fonctional once and for all!

Did you try clicking on the padlock ?

Avez-vous essayé de cliquer sur le cadenas?

[Wosven]

Oui, et dans ce cas, je me retrouve avec 210 × _la_proportion_originale_, elle n'est pas ajustée homothétiquement, d'où le besoin d'entrer la valeur manuellement.

[Wosven]

D'ailleurs, le cadenas signifie que les proportions sont liées, pas qu'elles sont égales. Ou alors il faut changer l'icône pour un signe "égal".

[AlainP]

Ah, je comprend, effectivement ça implique qu'on doit calculer à chaque changement de dimension. Ça fonctionne dans Photo et Designer via la fonction "Resize document" (j'utilises la version anglaise) mais pas dans Publisher. Le même problème existe dans la version .641 aussi.

That’s actually pretty strange, Wosven. For the padlock option is supposed to do just what you imagine it to do. When you lock the padlock and enter a value in one of the numeric inputs, the application is supposed to adjust the value in the other input when you hit the Tab key, such that the current aspect ratio of your page will be preserved under the transformation. I wonder why it doesn’t work in your instance. Maybe it’s a Windows-only bug. It seems to work correctly on the Mac. Hmm.

Already reported, but no fix obviously.

 

[Wosven]

At the time, there was a trick to have the app behaving, but it's worst today.
