Created attachment 204659 [details] Illustration of the problem If you have a circle, rotating it, changes the SIZE of the circle. That's crazy!! The circle itself does NOT change its diameter! Please see attached. The attached file has a line showing orientation. EVEN IF IT IS A RAW CIRCLE, and the line is removed, it does NOT change the fact the SIZE of the circle changes as it is rotated!!

In fact your "circle" is a "custom shape". Most of the shapes in the UI are "custom shapes". If the tool "toggle extrusion" is enabled when you have selected the shape, then it is a "custom shape". A "custom shape" is a rectangular canvas onto which lines are drawn. The "size" shown in the dialog is not the logical size of the drawn lines but the size of the bounding box of the rectangular canvas. And the bounding box of a rotated rectangle is larger than the bounding box of the unrotated rectangle. If you use not a "custom shape" but a primitive circle, then the size is independent from the rotation. The primitive circle is in the toolbar "Legacy Circles and Ovals". Same is if you convert the custom shape circle to a Bézier curve, then size is independent of the rotation. The fact, that for custom shapes not the drawn lines but the rectangular canvas determines size and position, affects as well the behavior in the tool "Align Objects". Thus this behavior is not a bug, but is a property of a custom shape.
