Evnl, I think you are trying to push your own dislike of the new GUI onto a Thread that does not need it being mentioned. The OP clearly asked for a cropping approach. You are conflating the old-style black controls with the Sticky-Stretchy issue mucked up in version 15.0. You are right that switching off Smart transform allows the insuitive adjustment of an image but did not mention holding the Alt meta-key also cancels out Smart transform. Neither of which allows an image to be accurately cropped to exact dimensions.
Asking someone to tweak their Registry without any caveat is not appropriate; if you have different Xara products, you have multiple ShowXCBoundsBlobs entries.
