Dear Mathias, 

I tried the KEEP_ANGLES, and indeed it keeps the cell vectors, but only the 
first step, after that it applies the same transformation . 

CELL_REF| Volume [angstrom^3]:                                     
 2098.417005
 CELL_REF| Vector a [angstrom    -6.381   -11.052    -0.000   |a| =   
 12.761263
 CELL_REF| Vector b [angstrom    -6.381    11.052     0.000   |b| =   
 12.761263
 CELL_REF| Vector c [angstrom     0.000     0.000   -14.879   |c| =   
 14.879004
 CELL_REF| Angle (b,c), alpha [degree]:                               
 90.000000
 CELL_REF| Angle (a,c), beta  [degree]:                               
 90.000000
 CELL_REF| Angle (a,b), gamma [degree]:                               
120.000000
 CELL_REF| Numerically orthorhombic:                                       
   NO
 CELL_OPT| Pressure tolerance [bar]:                                       
100.0
 CELL_OPT| Keep angles between the cell vectors:                           
  YES
 CELL_OPT| Keep cell symmetry:                                             
   NO
 CELL_OPT| Constraint:                                                     
 NONE

   NO

I wonder if is possible to stop this behaviour , 

best,
