1.  Create a new document in Writer.  
2.  On the Drawing toolbar, click the Basic Shapes menu-button and select an Isosceles Triangle.  
3.  Draw the triangle in the document.  When doing so, make the width and height to be roughly square.  
4.  Start dragging the lower-right selection handle.  
5.  Move the mouse to a position that is far to the right of the upper-left corner of the shape, but not very far down.  The transparent preview of the resize will correctly show that the aspect ratio of the shape is being altered.  
6.  Hold down the Shift key to preserve the aspect ratio.  

The transparent preview doesn't update to the original (step 3) aspect ratio until the mouse is moved again.  Instead, the preview should resize to the original aspect ratio as soon as the Shift key is pressed.  This will help users who are unfamiliar with LO and aren't sure what the modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl) do during mouse drags.  

LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 on Ubuntu 13.04.

Dear dg1727,

I tested LibreOffice 4.1.6 and 4.2.5 and it worked fine. Do you have a different result with these version?
Comment 2 dg1727 2014-11-25 01:30:09 UTC 
I have tested just now in LO 4.3.4.1 and the issue is still present as I described it.  

If the user moves the mouse even a tiny bit, the shape resizes to its original aspect ratio as desired, but my point is that the shape doesn't resize until the mouse is moved.
