AP strange selecting and scaling of layers

[Belifant]

Dear All

Been a user for a while, but something strange occurred just now (haven't noticed before) that doesn't make sense to me.

1. I have this layer "Color Button", acting as a folder for two other layers, a fill and a curve layer. When I select the button in the document, it only selects a layer within the group. Is there a toggle or another setting to switch between group or layer selection, like in Photoshop? It's a bit weird to always have to go to the layers panel, instead of selecting items in the document.

 

2. If I select that group as a whole in the layers panel, it shows me an old size of the manipulation frame, not the current size (the button has been scaled down). Again, weird to me, obviously I want to make any transformation from the current state of the button, not an old one. 

 

 

Is there an explanation to this behaviour and a way to fix this?

I know, this doesn't happen with pixel layers, but I would like to keep edit ability of this button, so rasterizing it is not really a solution.

 

Many thanks

Mischa

Hi Belifant,

I typically find that the parent object is selected when i try to select a group in regards to your bounding box issue please could you provide a copy of the file so I can see why this might be the case?

Thanks

Dear @Callum

Thank you for your reply. Please find attached an example file. I tried it on several computers, Mac and Windows, with the same result.
