Visio 2007 - Where is object resizing properties?

Thx,
Am disappointed though that this should be a designer restriction anyone
would support and in particular any of the default images in Visio 2007.

It's not like the User can't resize retaining the aspect ratio of course...
That's what the "corner" resizing handles do. But to disable the ability to
re-size without retaining the original aspect ratio --- What logic is there
is not making that available to the User?

Why would Visio even support such a thing, ever?

It's possible to visualise many shapes that should always retain their
aspect ratio.

As the others have mentioned, the behaviour may have been set by the shape
developer.

Open the Shapesheet for the shape and take a look at the settings for Hieght
and Width. They may contain a formula where the value of one is based on the
other.
(You may have to turn on Developer Mode to get access to the Shapesheet)
