Marquee selection tool is behaving like move tool after I transform it

Every time I attempt to use the Marquee selection tool and attempt to resize it with the transform tool it silently becomes a move tool and enlarges/shrinks or moves the pixels in the selection. This even happens on locked layers. I have tried with spring loaded tools enabled and disabled and i have reset the tool. I have tried with my Wacom pen and my mouse and I have also tried with 2 different keyboards so I do not think it is my attachments. 

I am on 27.11.0

on a Windows system running 

Windows 11 Home Insider Preview

Version 26H2

Cntrl+M —> Cntrl+T no longer allows you to transform a selection?

If you don’t want to actually affect the pixels inside the selection and just transform the selection marquee itself, then use Select>Transform Selection.
