The OP asked: "let's say I want to make it larger vertically and as click & hold and drag down I want it to not just get bigger vertically down but symmetrically up too;..." It seems to me he's asking, not for proportions to be kept the same, but for resizing not to move the centre of the object. So in Inkscape, I drag a handle on the right of the object: right edge moves. I shift-drag on the right, and both right and left edges move, keeping the centring the same. Control-drag keeps proportions the same, moving right, top, bottom edges; control-shift drag keeps proportions and centring the same, moving all 4 edges. OTOH in Draw, dragging a right edge moves the right edge; shift-dragging moves right, top and bottom, keeping proportions and shifting the centre horizontally. And that's all the choice you have. It's been an annoying (mis-)feature as long as I remember. -- Mike Scott (unet2 [deletethis] scottsonline.org.uk) Harlow Essex England "The only way is Brexit" -- anon. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Now it draws a square (or a rectangle with its original ratio) if I release the mouse button first, no matter if I drag a corner or a side. I agree that using the dialogue is desired, but that doesn't mean that other ways to do it shouldn't work as designed. But it seems to work after all, I'm not sure what I did wrong before. I'll test again. Aaah! I think I got it. It seems to be different depending on how you drew the original shape. If I select a square and draw it, then uncheck the keep ratio check box in "Position and Size", then I get those strange results in my previous post.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Resize object symmetrically?
Strange, when I create a square image, I can shift+drag to resize the image symmetrically. This is using 6.3.1.2. In my case, I released the mouse button *before* shift. I did this with a corner and both sides (top and bottom). The order of which (shift, mouse) is released does matter when using anyone of the sides. It does not matter when using the corner. Release shift before the mouse produces a rectangle. Releasing the mouse first produces a larger square. Dan On 9/12/19 10:35, Johnny Rosenberg wrote: Seems to be a bug.
