Why did Premiere break the H and W slider in the Graphic properties transform and allign tab?

We have identified that this change occurred going into 26.2 and you can install version 26.0.2 or lower will provide you with the expected results: 

1. Create a Rectangle in Premiere Project using the Rectangle Tool
2. Using the Properties Panel, adjust the W & H (width of the shape, height of the shape) values available below Opacity when the shape is selected within the Graphic Clip
3. Adjusting Corner Radius and Selecting the Selector Tool allow you to see the points I'm referring to.

Expected: Height and Width should adjust in relation to the anchor point.

A ticket has been filed and we will update you once we have more information. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

2026: I draw a rectangle,

use the W slider to adjust the width (only the right side moves) the anchor point goes off centre

2024: when I use the W slider the anchor point stays centered. Both sides move towards the centre.

Hello ​@MForceX and ​@Ann Bens,

Thanks for helping us troubleshoot the issue. 

Engineering said, “We need to see how you created each of those shapes, because it is the creation step which controls this.”
So, any insight to how you create the shape would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi ​@MForceX 

I see ​@Kevin-Monahan adjusted your post to move to our Premiere Bug Reports forums. To better help troubleshoot this issue, can you please give us some additional details about your setup and which Premiere you’re currently in? I see he already linked you our bug report details page.

• What is the exact Premiere version and build you’re using?
• Please specify Windows or macOS, along with what macOS/mac chip type -or- if PC whether Win11/10 and driver version/build.
  • GPU Driver (Windows only): Please let us know your video card driver version. We recommend updating to the most recent version; for NVIDIA users, we strongly recommend the Studio version of the driver.
• Screen Recording: If possible, include a recording of your screen showing the issue as that’s helpful.

For additional context:

• Does it affect all projects or only some?
• Does it affect new, empty projects?

​Hope to help and thanks for reporting about this!
Katie

Hello,

An Adobe Expert and I were able to reproduce your issue, so I’ll move this post to the bug reports forum so the product team will be informed. You may be asked to provide more information. You can check out this post for the info the team would like to see. 

I will advocate for this fix. I hope we can fix it as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Regards,
Kevin

This behaviour started in 2025 and is present in 2026 and 27 beta.

2024 show as expected; the anchor point stays in the middle when using the sliders.

Hi,

A couple of follow up items. How did you create these shapes? Can you share a project file which exhibits this behavior? Let me know.

Thanks 
Kevin

Hi there,

Thanks for the detailed report and screenshots. Do you remember which version of Premiere last behaved as expected? Please also let us know your current Premiere version and operating system.

If you have Premiere Beta installed, could you try the same steps there and let us know if the behavior is the same?

If this changed between versions, those details will help us determine whether we're looking at a regression. I appreciate the info so I can pass it along. Hope to help.

Thanks,
Kevin
