Draw 2x 1" x 1" squares
Group these 2 squares
Resize them in any direction
Ungroup these 2 squares
Select either sqaure

This is very grevious to me, as I spent considerable time thinking I had gone crazy when trying to scale things. Please fix. 

I request a bottle of red wine and some cheese as recompense for this horrible experience.

Cheerio,
