Type on Path Broken - Can't Resize
Not sure if this has been reported yet or not. When I use the type on path tool and try to resize it the type's center point is moved and/or the kerning is thrown way off. See the video for an example of what's happening.
The only way I can get around this is making a copy of the object so I can save an editable version, then outline the text on the other version so I can resize. This is a MASSIVE pain.
Using Ai version 25.4.1

This is happening even in version 27.8. I had to flatten my design before I could resize it, which means if I have to edit it, I have to keep a copy that is not flattened, make the edits, make another copy to flatten, flatten this copy and resize. It really adds a lot of time to the process.

Still not fixed. Cannot resize without all the type moving round, Cmd-Z has no effect

SAME! This issue has been going on WAY too long. I have to rasterize or flatten my image before resizing and I don't like having to do that cause then I can't edit them anymore. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

1. Monterey V.12.0.1
2. 26.0.13. When I work with type on a path tool in a circle, it flips the orientation by a subtle move and when this happenes, Cmmd Z doesn't work to go back to the original orientation.
