Bounding box changes after flipping artwork

[William Kansepa]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before... The bounding box changes 'shape' after flipping artwork.
Refer to attached images.

@William-Kansepa Yes. This is not really a bug (maybe an inconvenience). Flipping adds a transform with a negative scale, but first resets the current transform (rotation). This will reset the bounding box.

@VectorStyler thank you for the response though you are losing me... I wish flipping artwork would work flawlessly like it does in other software, i.e. Adobe Illustrator and Affinity apps. Flipping artwork in those apps does not reset the bounding box.

Please reconsider.

I will try to find a solution

@William-Kansepa I agree with this. Even if technologically it is working as intended, it's not as intuitive for the user visually.
