Using the shear in the transform window works but not correctly, When using an arrow to shear an item, the number switches from 0 degrees to 1 degrees and then back to 0 degrees and does not hold the changed degrees number but does shear the item. so if you want to shear say 15 degrees you can push the arrow key 15 times and it will work or you can type in 15., BUT will revert back to 0 degrees so you have no clue how much it is sheared. Rotation degrees works fine in the same transform window. Attached is a video showing the problem
