> If you have a circle, rotating it, changes the SIZE of the circle.

In fact your "circle" is a "custom shape". Most of the shapes in the UI are
"custom shapes". If the tool "toggle extrusion" is enabled when you have
selected the shape, then it is a "custom shape". A "custom shape" is a
rectangular canvas onto which lines are drawn.

The "size" shown in the dialog is not the logical size of the drawn lines but
the size of the bounding box of the rectangular canvas. And the bounding box of
a rotated rectangle is larger than the bounding box of the unrotated rectangle.

If you use not a "custom shape" but a primitive circle, then the size is
independent from the rotation. The primitive circle is in the toolbar "Legacy
Circles and Ovals". Same is if you convert the custom shape circle to a Bézier
curve, then size is independent of the rotation.

The fact, that for custom shapes not the drawn lines but the rectangular canvas
determines size and position, affects as well the behavior in the tool "Align
Objects".

Thus this behavior is not a bug, but is a property of a custom shape.
