skewed rectangles in Illustrator 29.5, OS 15.4.1, Mac Mini

Explorer ,
Apr 27, 2025 Apr 27, 2025

When using the polygon tool to draw rectangles, Illustrator is giving me slightly unsquare parallelograms. This happens both when specifying the exact size of a rectangle in the popup window or dragging the mouse to create a shape, either within a space defined by guides or not.  Don't know if this coincides with or predates updating Illustrator or OS as both recently occurred. I can't find a setting that controls this. Please help.

Can you check if Preferences > General  > Connstrain Angle is set to 0?
