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.

Having the option to choose tool behavior is a must. I really don't understand how could they think it is a good idea to force users this way. This is insane.

We shouldn't have to use text file hacks or codes to revert to previous behaviour. Adobe why aren't you listening to us? Please get your engineers back onto the desktop app and hire app engineers to concentrate on the iPad Photoshop 2019 app. Keep the two separate and not make Photoshop work the same on desktop and same for future iPad app. Because I think that's what's happening.

+1 for please making this an option to turn on and off. Even if not in preferences, at least through some text file hack like there is to revert to shift constrains proportions. (put a .txt file named PSUserConfig.txt that says "TransformProportionalScale 0" for those who haven't found it). If there was something like that to turn off various new weird tweaks so that these programs worked for, not against, us it would be a lifesaver.

This change has me seriously ready to bang my head against the keyboard... I work on projects with a lot of text layers and I am constantly having to "move very slowly" or escape after trying to move text or (the best) when I go to move text, it goes into edit mode instead... Seriously, whoever thought this was a good idea, really needs to move to another part of the development team.

This is rather ridiculous actually. Now every time i make any small change i have to exit out of the text editing window because i don't keep on auto select. i command + click an object. They have the ability to revert back to hold shift and scale but this is more annoying to me and no solution.

Definitely wish we could choose to turn this off.
It's so frustrating when they force changes that just annoy their users, and don't even make it optional, but mandatory.
As well as sending out e-mails asking what we feel needs improving / changing and then ignoring us.

Auto-commit for transform is REALLY annoying. And you can't undo it, so if you accidentally click the wrong place, you have to start over.

Yes - Please add the ability to disable the auto-commit function (as well as all the new functions). I've been using this program for over a decade and my workflow became substantially impeded with these small changes.

Click me-too to make them think seriously before another such changes while making this one easier to quickly toggle, by just one click when someone doesn't like it.
