The Reset Bounding Box not working with the square / rectangular shapes.

[Fasih K.]

Here is how to re-create this bug:

1. Create a square shape

2. rotate it 45 deg any direction

3. Right click select transform > Reset Bounding Box.

4. nothing happens ???????????

Sometimes this feature greyed out or sometimes it's selectable but doesn't work.

I also check this features works with every custom shape except the ones that has only 4 corner points.

These are shapes and they remember their rotation properties.

Select Object > Shape > Expand Shape to be able to reset the bounding box.

It worked but why they are not behaving like other shapes? I have a shortcut key for this, and now will make new key for these shapes

'Live' shapes have different properties than regular objects:

Object > Expand Appearance works on appearance attributes (like added strokes and effects). 'Live' shapes are not appearance attributes but a 'class' of object.

Polygon, Line and Ovals behave the same..

So what's the difference between Object > expand appearance, expand  vs  Object > shape > expand shape?

If both are for same puporse then why different category?

[Ton Frederiks]

Expand Appearance makes the effects from the Appearance panel permanent.

Expand Shape makes the Shapes (Rectangle,Polygon, Line and Ovals) into regular path objects.
