Broken resizing with rectangle tool when scale ≈0 #4310

Description

@0HyperCube

Reproduction

  • New document (with artboard)
  • Draw rectangle from the centre of the artboard with good width and height
  • Use the handles so the rectangle has approximately no height (using snapping)
  • Drag the handles to give height again
  • Observe strange jitter

Also occurs with the select tool, ellipse tool, etc.

Fix

The bound transform is set to some extremely small value e.g. 1e-15. This makes the floating point imprecision cause jittering during the transform calculations (which aren't particularly optimised to keep the precision). A fix is simply to scale up the bounding box transform so it has always a scale of 1. Stretch parallel to x or y axis leave the resulting box invariant. Also there was some thing to detect if the box was flattened. However this happened in the bounds space rather than the viewport space. In the diff switched to viewport space as it probably makes more sense?
