Resizing Area Type using Transform or Properties panel should not transform text inside

When changing the size of a Text Area via mouse the text is repositioned within the available space.

But I also regularly change sizes via the property panel in order to get the exact wanted values. But changing the size of the Text Area results in a deformed type (treated as a Point Type). There is now way to reset to the original undeformed font.

Changing the dimensions in the Properties panel should behave exactly the same way as changing them using the anchor points.

The behaviour via the Properties panel should be the same as via the mouse!

First deselect the text object, then use the direct selection tool to click on the path only.

When you use the Direct Selection tool (A) to click on the path only, it should work.

When changing the size in the properties panel. the text is transformed. Not the same behavior as when changing using mouse.
