P: Resize text layer via the handles with ctrl key no longer "live" scales

Photoshop 21.1 - When I hold down ctrl with a text layer "active" and attempt to resize it via the handles, it no longer "live" scales. I have to let go of the mouse for the text to update to the correct size.

It works fine for free transform though.

    Second this. Other users have pretty heave performance issues with text resizing, like this user.

    For me it is even worse - I got a good amount of 3-4 seconds lags when resizing. Gets better the more I go backwards in PS versions.
    Definetly got enough RAM: (96GB RAM, 2080 RTX, 500GB NVME for Cache, Ryzen Threadripper 1950X)

    I already did:
    - updated all drivers (just to make sure) 
    - reinstalled current version PS
    - Type preview to "none"
    - cleared cache & font cache
    - Deleted all fonts, but the windows standard fonts
    - Set different performance settings in preferences (recording to adobe/other posts)

    Nothing did the job.

    It turns out it's not just text but a lot of things don't live update (preview is checked). Levels, Hus/Saturation etc.

    macOS 10.15.3 similar behavior if I push the Cmd key and change the frame of the selection to the mouse, the text only takes its place when I release the mouse. But is this normal behavior?
