Rotating a circle changes its size

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • draw a circle
  • add a stroke to the circle
  • set circle's width and height to 25px
  • click circle to bring up rotation handles
  • rotate the circle and watch the width/height boxes

The same thing happens when using the transform tool and the tiled clones tool.

What happened?

The width/height changes as the circle is rotated

What should have happened?

The dimensions of the circle should remain the same ...
