I had Designer open all day now and been editing stuff. Now I noticed that the positioning and orientation controls in the "Transform" panel get confused after some time of using. I selected a regular rounded rectangle that wasn't rotated. I wanted to decrease its width from 1.5 to 1.25 cm, keeping it left-aligned. The top-left button was already white and enlarged so I went ahead and entered the new width. But the rectangle was resized center-aligned! I clicked the top-left button again and it was reduced to normal size (still white). Additionally, the rotation origin marker appeared. But I could never resize the rectangle left-aligned.

After restarting Designer, everything was normal again. Resizing worked as expected with the top-left button white and enlarged (default). The rotation origin marker still appears when I click that button again. That seems to be a hidden feature I can't make any sense of.

I have no reliable steps to reproduce now. As I said, I was using the app for hours and then it happened. At least that behaviour was always reproducible (until the restart). So I assume that some internal state variable was messed up or an event handler was lost somehow.

Update: A while isn't needed for this. I opened Designer a few minutes ago and placed a few rectangles around my drawing. All of them could be resized on the expected side by entering numbers. Then I added a line and switched to the centre point to resize it to both sides by entering a number. After that, rectangles can only be resized to both sides, never to the side indicated by that grid button in the Transform panel. Seems like switching to the centre once locks it there.

Update: The issue disappears now after selecting another corner button in the Transform panel. So simply clicking the already highlighted button does nothing when it normally should. It seems to be confused about that it's already selected (and does nothing) when it really isn't.

I'm trying to replicate this but so far haven't been able to.  

The currently selected Anchor point, should show slightly larger than the non selected Anchor points on the Transform panel.  When you get the issue with the rectangles only being sized on both sides, what Anchor point is selected in the Transform Panel?

As I described, it doesn't matter if the already white point is larger or not. Clicking it will make it larger and smaller, but it will remain white. All other points are darker.
