I prefer creating these objects with a thicker linewidth for visibility, and change the linewidth when those objects are finished.
The problem is that when I adjust the linewidth it also scales the dimensions of the object. Is there any way to prevent this unwanted behaviour?
( I already deselected the options on the top row including: adjust linewidth when scaling objects ; apparently this does not work the other way around)
Object resized when adjusting line width. How do I prevent this?

You can change to geometric bounding box in the preferences at tool settings from visual one (Shift+Ctrl+P).
