Rounded corners regression after applying effect
-
Steps:
-
Draw a small rectangle and round all corners
-
Apply the drop shadow effect or any other effect
-
Now stretch the rectangle using the top/bottom/side (not the corner) transform handles
Notice the distorted corners (Refer to attached image).

@William-Kansepa Once an object has an effect like drop shadow, the transforms are applied over the final shape, resulting in distorted corner

@VectorStyler Thank you for the explanation.
However, in other software i.e. Illustrator, CorelDraw and Affinity, to mention but a few, such is not the case. The corners still remain perfect even after stretching the rectangle.Could something be done to address this challenge?

I opened a bug on this and will try to find a solution, but it will be limited

Yes, I was actually about to open a topic about this exact rounded-corner issue. I’d already made a GIF to show it, so I’ll share it here too.

There is a workaround that requires using Shape Corner in the Effects panel. However, this only works if all four corners of the rectangle have the same radius. If the corner sizes are inconsistent, Shape Corner doesn't allow for individual corner adjustment, and you have to use the Corner panel instead, which makes this workaround unusable for that scenario.
