      I've noticed this recently in VS - this example is from build 34. If I erase a section of a vector shape, the red circle rotation point moves. I would expect if I erased from an edge or something, then the shape would be noticeably shorter in height or width and the middle would be different as expected.
      In this example, I am erasing part of the "S" that does not affect the overall size and yet the red dot is not still in the center.
      What's interesting is if I click away from the selection and re-select it - the red dot goes back to the center again.

        @Boldline Yes, this happens now (can be replicated), because a Separate Path step was automatically added to the erase (and knife) tools, and separate path resets the transform center.

        The separate path step can be disabled in the Preferences -> Editing Options 2 section.

          @vectoradmin ok thanks - I like and prefer the added function, so for now I'll leave it and see how things go
