P: Transform bounding box displays incorrectly for Smart Objects

Hi David
if you still have this problem, here's my solution:
- select all
- image>crop (delete cropped pixels deactivated)
- deselect

don't ask me why, but if you try now, ctrl-T will work as usual O__o
It looks like a Crop issue.

cheers

*Update*

I've wiped all user settings from "Documents and Settings", deleted all lingering preferences, plugins, etc from "Program Files...Adobe Photoshop CS5" and then done a complete reinstall from the original discs.

But the problem still occurs.

Here's the steps I'm doing:

1. Create a new document - any settings
2. Click - File - Place
3. Select any type of file and press enter to commit it to the doc as a Smart Object
4. Press Control+T to bring up the transformation controls
5. Distort any corner of the image and confirm by pressing enter
6. Click the transformation controls surrounding the SO
7. Notice the location of the transformation controls

Results:
The transformation controls are incorrectly located at the top left hand corner of the document.

Expected Result:
Transformation controls should appear local to the smart object.

Note: I installed the trial version of Photoshop CS6 and did not encounter this problem.

I am also suffering from this exact same problem, but never had this issue until today when it started happening out of the blue.

I've restarted my computer, reset all tools, deleted photoshop preferences and I've yet to figured out how to get rid of this issue. It's impacting my workflow a great deal....

I'm afraid I'm not sure about the behavior you're describing. Could you provide a screen shot? Maybe some precise steps to reproduce? I transform smart object but don't see what you describe.

Hi Josh, we have a record in our bug database for this issue. Thanks.
