How can I scale a rectangle only in length and preserve its width?

Sometimes I have 2 identical rectangles like that

<ipeselection pos="84.0589 700.408">
<path matrix="0.991736 0 0 0.633987 9.19555 253.784" stroke="black">
75.4872 761.132 m
75.4872 720.514 l
136.547 720.514 l
136.547 761.132 l
h
</path>
<path matrix="0.991736 0 0 0.633987 93.5383 253.783" stroke="black">
75.4872 761.132 m
75.4872 720.514 l
136.547 720.514 l
136.547 761.132 l
h
</path>
</ipeselection>

which are aligned at their top, for example,

Lets call the left one rectangle "A" and the right one "B".

I want to change the height of "A" (without changing its width and without
changing the positions of its 2 upper edges) and then change the height of
"B", so that it is again identical to "A".

Is there a way to achieve that with snapping (and without drawing additional
lines)?
As soon as I use snapping, the width of the rectangle also changes according
to the origin.

Kind regards

Martin
