Hi, i have a problem to make my object shorter, my object is a simple rounded rectangle.

I want to make it shorter ( shrink it while keeping the same width ) but i can't.

Its like he is " blocked " to became shorter.

I can make him longer but if i do that, again i can't make it shorter.

So i can only make it longer than the previous size.

He get longer and longer but impossible to make him shorter.

Im pretty sure that before, i could do that.

If you have the solutions that would help me a lot !

Thank you that is helpful and I can exactly repdroduce the problem you describe. It seems to be a bug in Illustrator.

To work around it, try rotating by 0.001°. That fixed it for me.

Dragging it to make it shorter does not work (unless I make the corner radius smaller), but changing the height of the shape in the Transform panel works.

I also tried it for myself. I didn't have this problem. Try restarting Illustrator and see if the problem persists.

I just tried to restart Illustrator, start a new file and try another rectangle on 315° and it's the same bug.

Try to make a rectangle, then make the corner fully round and put the object in 315°.

Tell me if you got the problem or if it's okay for you

I tried and had the same problem as you. This is indeed a bug.

Hi @gui09911,

I made a rectangle, then gave it rounded corners, then rotated it, similar to yours and I can drag the length up and down no problem. Something must be different about yours and lots of things can cause it. Can you please post a pdf of your example document? Make sure you include Illustrator compatibility.
