Bug Does anyone know when object distortion is going to be fixed?

It seems like objects distorting when you move or rotate them is very well known bug, and the cause has been determined. Does anyone know when it will be fixed?

 

This doesn't seem like a bug. It's how most 3D software work. Your parent has a non-uniform scale.

 

Yeah, I've fixed that. But apparently it didn't used to happen? Do you know what changed?

 

You probably didn't have non-uniform scale.

You made your scale non-uniform.

I'll be here all night... try the veal!

 

Yeah, this is a consequence of non-uniform scaling, and you can't really fix it.

If an object's parent is non-uniformly scaled, then different parts of the object will be scaled differently based on which axes they line up with.

So, if the parent is scaled down on the Y-axis, anything that aligns with the Y-axis will be shrunken down, whilst things that are perpendicular to it will be unaffected. When you rotate the child, you change those alignments, and thus get weird-looking distortion.
