alice-teacher Resizing reflects an object?

[Daniel Abeshouse]

In the IDE, negative values for the resize* and setHeight|Width|Depth throw an exception that is logged and the operation is basically skipped, taking no animation time.
On export to the player, we have different behavior. The set* methods and resize both accept negative values and produce the effect you are seeing, while the resizeHeight|Width|Depth log an error with each frame, and take up the animation time, unlike in the IDE.

I have not done a full exploration of the effects of the various extra parameters.

The difference in behavior after an error in the IDE and the Player is a known bug. The sizing behavior for negative numbers is a new one. I will add it to our list.

Thanks for finding this.
