Add more feedback on disabling "Uniform Scaling" mode
Uniform Scaling mode means that your shape is not just "resized", but "transformed" using a uniform transformation. When you "resize" (uniform scaling disabled) a shape, you basically change its local width and height (even when the shape is rotated using some embedded transformation). Resizing can never shear or deform your shape, that is a resized rectangle will always stay rectangular. When you "uniform scale" a shape, you don't "resize" it, you apply a transformation to it. That is all the small elements of the shape like stroke, pattern and gradient will also become scaled. And if you apply a uniform scale transform in global mode to a rotated shape, then the shape will be scaled uniformly, and rectangle will become sheared. NOTE1: Non-uniform scaling mode is available only when *one* shape is selected. "Resizing" multiple shapes in a non-uniform way is just not possible. Therefore the checkbox becomes automatically disabled when you select multiple shapes. NOTE2: Groups do not support non-uniform "resizing" (see NOTE1). Technically, resizing of a group is just applying a common transformation on the top of the child shapes. Therefore, all the properties of the uniform scaling apply to this process.
