@Kate, thank you for the timely update especially around the selection handles, a current hot topic.

Two points here:
  1. Smart Duplication - still cannot grow upwards as the silly rotate handle is still in the way.
  2. NS/EW Skew - still only one input box for skewing - EW only.

The offset does not remain constant: for a 10px square, it is from 5% to 400%. It does not get in the way but still looks gauche at smaller zooms.
I do like the consistency of switching modes.

I am sorry to suggest that you are still inconsistent with:
  • Unfortunately, a skewed Box with Text Inside added loses skew and corners. I use these as they grow as fixed text is added to.
  • If I change the Box to a (skewed) Shapes, the skew is retained but the height does not grow when more text is added.
  • If you Stretch a skewed Box with Text Inside (so the text is skewed as well), it grows in both NS & EW directions. Skewed Text still is rendered as an image.
  • No mention of the still hidden right-click on the Aspect Ratio icon to reveal the Smart Transform option.
  • Table Cell Padding is still an input box adjustment (unlike Text Inside).
