Issue with icons in content library 360
When I import icons from the content library, they appear stretched (unlike how they appear in the library) and are .png pictures which means you cannot edit the colours from the standard black. Not sure what is causing this odd behaviour. The issue is occurring with all the icons I select from the library. Is anyone else having the same or similar issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks

Hello QuinnHachey and MarkRash865,
I’m glad JHauglie is helping you out here! Unfortunately, I can confirm that this issue with some icons is a known bug that we’re currently monitoring.
The current workaround is what JHauglie shared: resizing the icons using the dimension settings and locking the aspect ratio. I’ve also added your feedback to our bug report so our product engineers are aware of the impact.
We’ll keep you updated here if we have any changes or fixes to share that might help.
Yes, I have noticed this occasionally as well. Most icons import as shapes that can be easily modified (with the added benefit of being vectors), but sometimes the selected icons import as images.
You should still be able to change the colors by working with the line and fill tools; I've not had any issues with doing so, and in fact the PNG format is not a problem for color changing.
As for the sizing, when I have seen this "stretch" effect occur, I work with the dimension settings to get the size correct, then make sure that I lock the dimensions so that the image reduces or enlarges consistently.
Pop out the "Size and Position" dialog...
These are the apparent default settings for the checkmark you showed; notice that the width and height are not the same, nor the scale factor; but the "lock aspect ratio" option is set. Uncheck that option....
...then resize it as you wish. Notice that the scale factor and the dimensions are equivalent for both width and height.
Be sure to select the "Lock aspect ratio" box when the object is properly dimensioned. Then re-size as desired.
