I actually find the dialog box more useful, since I'm usually trying to
set an exact width for an image.
I'd been frustrated with the mouse resizing because I didn't know about
having to shift to maintain the ratio. In my experience, most software
keeps the ratio if you click and drag the lower right corner; shift is
not necessary. You learn something new every day!

This is just off the top of my head, I haven't actually experimented
with this, but isn't the "keep ratio" checkbox in the dialog window
just for resizing by way of the width and height values in the dialog
window itself, and has nothing to do with drag operations? Dragging to
resize has its own way of keeping ratio, by holding down shift or some
such, doesn't it?
That's the way I understand it, at least, and it seems correct to me.
Works that way in lots of software, I think.

Well... The following seems really dumb. :-(
1. Insert a picture in a document
2. Select the picture, rt. click and select "Picture" from
the popup box 3. Click the Type tab, and check "Keep ratio".
Leave the dialogue box open or close it, your choice.
Grab a corner handle, adjust the size, but the ratio is NOT retained.
Surely, this is not right.
The ratio is kept if you manually change the size in the dialogue box.
