At the moment, Menu >> Size Canvas has [Constrain Proportion] checked by default. The problem is, I don't think we need [Constrain Proportion] that often. In fact, I never needed this function in Canvas Size dialogue for once. In most cases when I want Constant Proportion, I would use [Scale to New Size] instead. Having it checked by default resulting in me unchecking it EVERY TIME, which can be very annoying sometimes. As far as I can remember, GIMP and Adobe Photoshop both have [Constrain Proportion] UNCHECKED by default. ================== BTW, the menu item named [Size Canvas] has a dialogue window title as [Canvas Size]. I think renaming the menu item to [Canvas Size] is better, because 1) "Canvas Size" is widely used; 2) "Size" is not a common verb. Reproducible: Always

What I don't get is why we have both the checkbox and the anchor button, which seem to be absolutely synchronized.

Hi Boud, thanks for the last patch, but for some reason it didn't work: 1. Now after the patch, [Resize Canvas] dialogue does seem to remember the checkbox state of [Constrain Proportion], but... 2. Once I change number for [Width] or [Height], the other will change accordingly, as if the checkbox is always checked... 3. I can "clear the state" by doing Check/Uncheck [Constrain proportion] once. Only after that the proportion is truly unlocked... 4. Next time I open [Resize Canvas] dialogue, same thing will happen again. I had deleted kritarc before the testing to confirm that.
