P: Preferences to turn off auto-commit and double click to edit text

It's cool that you guys added the addition to auto commit and double click to edit text but please add into tool preferences the ability to turn this off. I just downloaded photoshop 2019 and I keep accidentally editing text instead of moving it and then when I'm rotating or scaling objects it will auto commit for me when I didn't want it to.

Also can you please put other things in preferences to like scaling using the shift key and other things that were changed for usability? People that have been using the program for a really long time are used to it working one way and then just changing it to the opposite is really tough to get used to. Would be very nice to have the option to turn these things on or off depending on if I want them to work a certain way.

    The constrain button in the tool options bar.  It's being ignored when unchecked in the new default constrained mode.  It doesn't matter whether you check the chain link or un-check the chain link nothing happens. It hasn't been fixed. I just updated and checked.

    You mean shift to constrain?
    Nope. I'd hoped that they had seen sense. But apparently not.

    I haven't tried the updated PS 2019. Is the constrain link fixed on the tool bar RF ?

    I can't bring myself to open 2019.

    Still no fix for this in 20.0.2. It's a terrible UX decision and it generates real bad feelings about Adobe in general

    Returning to the 2018 version is the only solution I have found.

    The whole thing is soo broken. Now how am I going to scale something on one axis, while not getting snapped? Usually I could press CTRL - and SHIFT but now that doesn't work anymore, as it unlocks the other axis also.

    The user experience is worse too now, since I can't just transform anymore quicly - I have to triple check for every fricking click, so that I'm not accidentally applying the transformation, because only certain areas let me transform (and that doesn't get reverted with the TXT setting).

    Please, don't just fix it: Remove this change and fire the employee who came up with it and whoever approved this.

    Please allow toggle to turn off new features that were made for newbies. Double clicking text and holding shift to scale are the big offenders.
