Incorrect size for a group with an ellipse
I have a number of 5mm ellipse selected - these should have a complete height of 65mm when selected. But illustrator has ignored the white space between, giving a height 10mm less than it should be!
Seems to be fixed in the latest release. Please check if it is and comment back if it does not.

Dimensions of object are incorrect when more than one object is selected in new update 25.4.1 (Mac OSX running latest version of Catalina.)
See below square is 600mmx600mm, when I then paste a complex group of objects and I select the outer circle it is 600x600mm. When I then go to select 2 or more of the circles the height goes loopy.
This issue actually was happening in 2019 but then got fixed. Now it's back again. Please fix it so it never comes back again.

When I draw a basic circle using the ellipse tool (l) - everything is fine.
However, when you duplicate or rotate this object multiple times, the selected group maintains the scale properties of the originally drawn circle - and not the size of the collective group. The height is reporting that my shape's properties are HALF of what its actual width is visually.
This is has never been issue for the 14+ years that I've been using Illustrator.
Please fix! -

楕円シェイプとその他の図形が同時に選択されている状態で回転をかけると変形パネルのHが異常な数値となる。
環境
macOS10.15.6 Illustrator ver.25.2.3再現手順:
1. 楕円シェイプとその他の図形を描き全てを選択する。
2. 回転ツール又は変形パネル等を利用して選択範囲を任意の角度に回転する。
3. 変形パネル上のHの数値が選択範囲の正常な高さを示さない。期待する結果
変形パネルの高さの項目が選択範囲の高さを正常に表示する。実際の結果
変形パネルの高さの項目が選択範囲の高さを正常に拾わない。とりあえずの対処法ですが、シェイプを拡張することにより通常のpathItemとすると意図した数値が得られるようになります。

Drawing two circles and moving them apart there are no problems, they show the correct overall size. However as soon as I rotate them 90* it shows the distance between them rather than the actual outside dimensions.
Yes, I could make them a compund path or change them from a shape, but it is still a glitch nonetheless.

Im seeing same issue on Windows 2020. I have a group made of outlined text items and a circle. When i make a new group of the selection, it shows the height and width of that text and not the circle?
Notice how the height is the same in both selections, thats clearly a bug
Its must be something in this circle shape, when i recreate the circle and do the same it does work properly. The circle by itself acts like normal, no weird behavior. Its still a live shape and i can edit without issues. Only when i select a group together with this first circle the height and width are not correct as seen in the images

Illustrator 25.2.1
Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7Overall sizes given in the Transform panel are incorrect if multiple ellipses are selected, depending on the rotation of the ellipses.
In the attached screenshot all groups of ellipses should be 400x600mm overall size, however, 2 of the rotated groups give an incorrect dimension for the overall height, yet the only difference is the rotation of the shapes.

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. -

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.Windows 10 Pro 20H2 Build 19042.804 64 bit

Matthew, wow.
I can’t reproduce it in Ai2020 on Windows. Can you share the file with these? What version are you using, what OS?
