Resize Lucidchart shapes without moving other shapes

Hello. I have a PROCESS shape extended to a long rectangle. I have a bunch of other shapes connected to it. I would like to extend the rectangle to the right without all of the existing connections shifting.

Is there a way that I can drag the right border without dragging the arrows with it?

 

Thank you

I really wish this was a feature. The Line Connections workaround is not desirable. 
My team and I spend so much time resizing shapes and readjusting connections. Very frustrating and lost time resulting in abandoned detail thus reduced chart accuracy. 

Still love this product. Thanks!!

Hi ​@ECC - my sincere apologies for the frustration this has caused. I certainly understand how this would be an improvement to your workflow, especially when it’s difficult to anticipate the final state or size of a diagram. Thank you for submitting such a well-articulated feature request!

One thing you can do is select the shape then Cut (Ctrl + X) and Paste (Ctrl + V). You can then resize it, but you do lose the connections to the shape
