Lock children causes strange scaling

[PeterB.]

If I select a picture frame and the lock children option is active, the size of the selection frame changes after releasing the mouse button. If I deselect the frame and select it again, the size of the selection box is correct again. If I don't deselect and make further size adjustments, then the size of the picture frame is no longer correct either.

Yes reproduced here - and after that, an undo shows the picture frame out wider than it was as well, as PeterB says, deselect and reselect corrects it.

I feels like when the option is activated, the scaling becomes somehow jerky and is no longer as smooth as before, like when the computer suddenly slows down or so. But that can also be subjective.

Hi @PeterB.

I've passed this over to our developers for further investigation.
