Dear Xara.Cloud..

...inhttps://docs.xara.com/en/articles/3436101-product-update-28th-october-2019 under Rotated Objects, we have:
We've also removed some edge handles on certain rotated objects to prevent them from being distorted, which is hard to undo. The corner resize handles will still remain, allowing you to scale the object larger or smaller.
I selected an object in a Group and found it still had the edge handles.
On using then to stretch the Object, it only grew it.

In all other graphics packages I have used or owned edge handles perform a stretch/shrink action.

I want to "distort" my shapes!

P.S. Apologies - should be in Xara Cloud (formerly Online Designer) forum.
