P: Incorrect Transform Controls Behavior

I have Move Tool selected and "Show Transform Controls" checked. I select an image or a text that I want to resize and it shows a bounded box with 8 control points/squares as it should. I hover my mouse above any of those points and it shows a "resize" icon. But when I click instead of resizing image it always MOVES it. After than I have to move it back and click again on the same point and now it would resize.

I've seen this behavior in the program for a very long time, and finally decided to write about it. I don't think this is right. If I want to move an object I would click inside it. There's no logical reason transform controls changes to move all of the sudden...

Is this something that can be changed in settings?

Version 23.4.2

Thanks in advance!

Hi

The transform controls are working as they should for me on Windows 10 with Photoshop version 23.4.2, have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences
