Transform panel W & H not constraining proportions and displaying wrong dimensions

Transform Panel:
When entering a value in the Width, with constrain proportions on, proportions are not constrained in Height. Height will then display some random height not associated with actual dimensions.

Nope, Nick, this is not because you have something with strokes in a group.
It is because you have live ellipses in it! This is what I found to be an issue.
Instead of expanding strokes I advise you to expand live shapes instead.
Try to Object > Shape > Expand Shape (and check how it changes the height immediately).
It is a bug. -

@Egor Christyakov, thanks for the reply. I had grouped strokes that seemed to cause the problem. Expanding them did solve the issues in the transform panel. Thanks for the tip. However, the ability to change stroke width after a precise transform would be much more difficult, not impossible, but adds an extreme amount of extra steps. Hopefully Adobe can resolve this issue.
Attached is the file that has the grouped object that I'm having the issue with. Nothing complex, but frustrating at the least. -
I just met the same thing.
Do you have any live shapes in the selection? Please try to expand them to paths and check dimensions again.
