Blender 2.8 Having trouble with scaling I'm wondering why my object shrinks a little after I scale it, I mean it does make the shape bigger but not as much as I scale it to be. When I click off of it the object shrinks down a little. Is that supposed to happen?
Do you happen to have a constraint applied to the object - eg constrain the scale to no bigger than a value?

For the hollow wireframe part - you may be wanting to toggle x-ray mode Alt-Z or the button next to the wireframe shading.
