Summary:

When lines that were constrained to a 45 degree angle are pasted as a picture onto a slide, the angled lines can develop jags after the picture has been resized. This occurs even if the resizing is done by pressing SHIFT or CTRL+SHIFT for height/width ratio constrainment.

The Windows graphics device interface (GDI) simply doesn’t have the precision to handle this kind of graphic manipulation and still prevent 45-degree angle lines from developing a slight jag.
