Hi Ashok, Thanks for this report. As far as I remember, this behaviour has always been like this, (though in previous versions with Shft+Mouse) I think it's a good idea to change that: corner handles resize proportionally side handles resize on direction See what UX thinks of this. Cor

Right, images should only scale proportionally by default when one of the edge handles is used.
Agreed by the Design team: indeed, it would be good to resize non-proportionally when the handle in the middle of the edge is used (even without pressing shift). Would be good to turn this into an Easy Hack.
