Lock children and picture frame sizing becomes wildly inaccurate

[Like, would like more if…]

Got some crazy activity going on with picture frames in Affinity Publisher 2. When I have pictures in picture frames the dimensions when using the move tool to resize etc works fine until I lock children. When this is done the box scaling goes crazy, shrinking smaller than should be when shrinking, expanding larger than should be when stretched, and not settling until released and reselected. Unlocking children returns behaviour to OK. Thought it may be high res screen issues, but acts the same on an HD and changed resolutions. Note the scale is actually wrong in the transform panel too.

File in video was newly created after having this happen all over an 80 page doc… thought maybe memory, but no this is just one page one pic.
