[RING-FAMILY]

Hi,

I wondeer why in Illustrator workspace area the shapes of 2 rectangles of similar dimensions but different orientation are not displaying properly alike. one looks whider than the other.

I have attached the screenshot of how the rectangles are showing.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
