Bounding Box resetting automatically if a compound path is included in a selection — ruins workflow
Normally in Illustrator, the bounding box is locked to the orientation of an object until you manually reset the bounding box. I am experiencing a bug in Adobe CC 23.0.3 where the bounding box of an object, or group of objects in this case, resets immediately after a rotation. This prevents me from executing the standard task of rotating an object, then scaling it horizontally using the bounding box to create the correct perspective (see video).
The reason I'm confident in reporting this as a bug is because I have never experienced this before and have been using Illustrator since CS3. Additionally, if this was the expected behavior, there would be no need for the "reset bounding box" menu function.
I've done my due diligence by looking through the forums, and this was last reported six years ago, so seems like a fresh bug. In that old post, one user suggested re-setting the bounding box of the grouped object prior to rotation, but that also did not solve my problem.
I'm running Illustrator on an 2017 iMac running Mojave 10.14.4

A compound shape of multiple objects should be acting as a single object so its bounding box should maintan the same (as group's does) but it keeps resetting after any rotation.
