Resize a "cropped" image

Getting some unexpected behavior on Mac OS when it comes to transforming images.

Here's what I'm doing:

1. Import an image

2. Double-click to edit the image shape

3. Select the 2 corner points and drag up a bit to crop the image.

4. Press Esc to get to the bounding box.

5. Scale the image from a corner point.

The "cropping" is lost and the whole image appears again.

Is this supposed to happen?

    yes I see what is happening.

    Try 'un-pressing' little lock icon that is in Properties panel, right side. Next to W/H fields.

    (again, this is not 'true crop', what is happening- you're editing container for this image, not really cropping image; please add your vote for feature request for cropping)

    there is no true 'crop' support in XD yet. There are some workaround - like editing image container shape that you used; or masking but it only allows to 'crop' initially, not maintaining crop on resize.

    for cropping, there is a feature request on our list - please add your vote or comments to it

    Sure, if you edit the shape that the image is filling then resize it loses the shape edit - if you follow the steps I provided it doesn't act the way I would expect.
