Additional Information

After a new shape is created, it is simplified. In the present implementation of the simplifying process, the curves with linear segments are approximated, and after simplifying, the curves are being restored. This logic uses certain parameters that depend on the data tolerance. At the small scale, the user creates features that are comparable with the tolerance and this causes issues for the algorithm, preventing it from restoring the curves properly. When editing curve features, avoid curves that are shorter than 25 * tolerance or features that are narrower than about 5 * tolerance.

Workaround

To have the Ellipse or Circle shape in a smaller scale map extent, enlarge the scale of the map slightly and draw the shape at the required location.
Use the scale tool to move and make the shape smaller.
