    1. Uniformly increasing or decreasing the size of graphics with the same dimensions can result in two different outcomes.
    2. When converting the graphic to a path, the size shrinks, and it only returns to normal after converting it a second time.
      3-4. When increasing the size of a graphic without selecting the stroke, the stroke may appear thicker.
    3. When simultaneously selecting a path and the underlying image to perform a node-disconnecting operation, issues may arise with the underlying image.
    4. Graphics that are no longer in a grouped state can still undergo an unlimited number of ungrouping operations.

    @monsterfox I opened a bug on this.

    @monsterfox said in Strange error:

    I can replicate all these issues. Some are bugs, other are just the result of the reference trick in VS (but I will try to improve these also).

    Uniformly increasing or decreasing the size of graphics with the same dimensions can result in two different outcomes.

    This one is not a bug. The problem here is that the last two objects are references of other previously selected objects. Now if both the reference and its source is selected and we scale these, then the source is scaled (order does not matter), which makes the reference smaller, and then the reference is scaled again.
    So basically the reference was scaled twice (once its content and once the link).
    It is easy to replicate: draw a shape, Edit -> Reference, select both and scale.
    Not sure what would be a solution here (no one has the reference feature), but I will think of something.

    When converting the graphic to a path, the size shrinks, and it only returns to normal after converting it a second time.

    Again a result of the reference feature. When converting a "reference" (symbol) to curves, it will not convert it, but it will remove any transforms/shape effects on it, resulting in the smaller objects.
    Symbols (or references) should be expanded first with Style -> Expand Symbol.
    The solution here would be to automatically do an Expand Symbol when doing a convert to curves.

    When increasing the size of a graphic without selecting the stroke, the stroke may appear thicker.

    Here the problem is with the "too many options" of VS. Because we can have multiple strokes per object, each stroke can set if it is scaled or not when resizing (even if the object itself turned off the Transformed Stroke option).
    This Stroke level object can be accessed in the Appearance panel, by selecting the Stroke item and the Transformed Content in the panel menu.

    When simultaneously selecting a path and the underlying image to perform a node-disconnecting operation, issues may arise with the underlying image.

    This one is a bug, will be fixed.

    Graphics that are no longer in a grouped state can still undergo an unlimited number of ungrouping operations.

    This is also a bug, will be fixed.
