Live Shapes get expanded when slanted / sheared / skewed, unlike InDesign
When I transform an object, the rotation angle remains visible in the Transform panel, while that the inclination angle disappears... why? it's very frustrating...
In InDesign this is possible and correct.... not in Illustrator.
It is not possible to reset or reproduce the angle of inclination on another object.

I confirm.
Rectangle (being a path with a custom 'live shape' attribute, allowing it to have rectangle-specific control in Transform and elsewhere) looses the 'live shape' status when a Shear value is applied to it.
It looks like these just don’t support shearing.
