When you create a circle with either the radius ot diameter creation option, you can not manually edit the widht/height.
The bounds creation option works fine but radius/diameter options does not edit the widht/height numbers correctly, which is pretty annoying. Please fix before version 6 is released (very soon...) ;))

Hi Jim,
The Radius center point measurements show the 'x' location point relative to the page position rather than height/width figures.
If you enable page rulers and then grab the ellipse by the centre 'x' and move it around you will see the numbers match the position as indicated by the mark on the rulers.
I was not clear enough in my description. I meant if you use the radius or diameter buttons when creating the circle you get into problems editing the width/height. If you type a number like 5 you will get something else like 5.72.

A video explains it better :)

I see that
and it does not appear to happen in xtreme 2
so maybe another consequence of the HTML changes in terms of how objects are now treated at sub-pixel level
Yes it is a pixel problem! Use pixels and you get the exact size that you want although I struggle converting them in my head when designing for print.
