Radial gradient gets changed when a shape is resized
When I resize an object with a particular gradient, it gets adjusted on its own, which I didn't face before the update. Please fix the issue ASAP

I found a simple set of steps one can try to reproduce the problem.
I check if the angle of the gradient is 0°.
I create a rectangle and rotate it 90° counterclockwise — now the value is -90.
Then I create a square and the angle stick. Seems harmless, right?
But then I create a circle (still holding Shift)... looks OK, but the gradient now is rotated relative to the live shape’s internal angle! so when I scale it, Ai scales it the same ratio... but rotated.
Sometimes the angle DOES get reset automatically, but I can’t figure why it doesn’t when it doesn’t. -

Since Illustrator 29.x, radial gradients are always fixed as circles and no longer follow the shape of the object. This causes two major issues:
1. I need to manually adjust gradients every time, which slows down my workflow.
2. Gradients no longer update when scaling or rotating objects, breaking a fundamental part of my design process.I strongly request that Adobe provide a preference option to choose between the new “fixed circle” behavior and the legacy “follow object shape” behavior.
Thank you.

Le dégradé appliqué à une forme ne suit plus correctement le redimensionnement de l’objet, alors qu’auparavant il s’ajustait automatiquement à la nouvelle taille. C’est particulièrement irritant, car je dois maintenant ajuster manuellement le dégradé radial chaque fois que je redimensionne une ellipse. Cela complique inutilement le travail et fait perdre un temps précieux.

Perhaps this new bug report (but about linear gradients) is related...
Gradient does not rotate with object when using corner handles (manual transform)

Depuis la dernière mise à jour, j’ai constaté que l’outil de dégradé circulaire ne prend plus en compte les transformations appliquées aux formes contenant ce dégradé. Cela pose pas mal de soucis dans mon flux de travail.
Existe-t-il une solution pour que les transformations soient bien prises en compte ?Merci d’avance pour votre aide :)

I can confirm. Here’s how it looks for me.
