How do I resize a line without changing the width of the line in Inkscape?
Scenario: I have already drawn a horizontal line and want to make it longer. If I select the line, use the resize handle to the middle right and resize then the width of the line
becomes larger as I drag to right to make the line longer. The Shift, Ctrl and Alt keyboard modifiers do not seem to have the desired effect either.
I have looked through the tutorials available from http://www.inkscape.org/doc/ and
checked the Inkscape FAQ
Platform: Inkscape v0.46 (2008-03-10), Windows XP 64 bit, 8 GB RAM.

On the far right side of the Tool Controls Bar, you'll find four buttons (to the right of the "Affect:" label; see the screenshot below). You can use those to control which aspects of an object are affected by, e.g. resizing operations.
