Perfect squares, circles

[Juhan Sonin]

Spot on Sean. Shift-growing does keep the ratio constant. I use this 
action all
the time.

My beef is that the default "circle" in the shapes palette is not a 
circle, but
an oval... so when I drag it onto a canvas, I need to manually adjust it to a
perfect circle 9 times out of 10 when I'm in need of a true circle.

I must be doing something wrong or my settings are screwy/non-standard.
