Beginners' Questions Arrow gets de-formed or skewed when re-sized

    When you resize the line with arrow head, it gets skewed with the line. Is there any way to stop this happening? This is with version 1.4, and in version 1.2.2 it was fine. May be I need to set some setting or it's a bug (or feature) by default? 

    Not only arrow head, the line also gets skewed.

    Pls find the attached screenshot image and the .svg file so you can see it in action.

    Check Status Bar if you have accidentally a group selected.

    If the lines are grouped as Polygon is asking - and your transform behavior is set to optimized - ungroup. Should fix it. 
    If not - then check and see if your transform behavior is set to preserved in preferences. Suggest not using that behavior.

    Workaround using object to path:

    Scaling a Path effect usually causes this issue because it will use a transform matrix to the object regardless of if the transform behavior is set to optimized or preserved. Any object that uses a transform of matrix or scale will exhibit this behavior. 

    Baking a path effect (object>path) will fix this issue if the transform behavior is optimized. Haven't tried it with the transform behavior = preserved.
