I have been using Power Director 16/17/19/21 for some years and have a number of ingrained habits. Today I tried to resize a colour (color) board something I have done many times before. Couldn't do it. Unless I'm doing something wrong the "handles" appear to be missing from the edges. See attached image.

Yes they've clearly changed the behavior. While you can easily change the size, the aspect ratio seems to be fixed to that of the project (eg 16:9 or 1:1).

However it's fairly simple to change that by holding down the Shift key and dragging one of the corners to change the height and/or width of that corner relative to the other sides. Once you release the Shift key and try dragging any corner again, the board will scale in the new aspect ratio. You're also free to use the Shift key again to freely resize the board.

There is an Maintain Aspect Ratio tick box in the object settings tab, untick it and you can alter the aspect ratio. Doh..
