Hi Burr, yeah so the way the "shake off" works is if you move your mouse far enough away from either of the X or Y tracking lines, when you move your mouse back to that original area it won't attempt to track onto those X or Y lines anymore.

That can help you to do some finer tuned uniform scaling with the edit frame, basically turning off the one-directional scaling for just that handle grab.
