When selecting a layer and dragging a corner handle with the shift (or alt-shift) key pressed, the resize proportion isn't constrained. This started with this most recent update.

Me too. Thanks Rosa. That's an even bigger bug!

No, Alexandra. This change was not done to please 12-year old weekend users. It was done BY young Adobe product managers who apparently don't have a clue that there is a large user base, many of whom don't comment on this forum and will just quietly downgrade out of frustration.

Me Too. I had to waste a lot of time digging through web searches to find this out. What's the point of the constraint link on the toolbar?

Totally agree with everyone on this post. What's the point of the "chain link" icon to turn proportional scaling off and on. This affects not just edit transformations, but selection transformation, as well.

When the hell is this getting fixed ? Why are we still waiting ?

This is a total troll update. So the design devs screwed up with their new transform/scaling system, which only applies to rasterized layers. Trying to transform vectors uses legacy transformation behavior which made sense. So you guys only half a job at implementing this screw up.

Another thing is rotating objects, when you cursor off the transform object you are then able to rotate. In 2019 now if you move the cursor too far out of the object it switches to transformation interrupting rotation. Is freaking backwards this whole 2019 version. Seriously what happened with the team does anyone on it use photoshop professionally or at least talk to any half decent pro users?

Using cc2014 till you fix  you guys fix this mess up.

I may call today myself. This is ridiculous. I’ve just stumbled across several more bugs in the latest 2019. So with a combination of bugs and intentional “fixes”, 2019 is almost unusable. I’ve reinstalled 2018 for the time being, hoping there will be a raft of changes coming from Adobe.

PLEASE make a way to revert the scaling back to the way it has always been.  Those of us using Adobe products for years are accustomed to using shift for proportional scaling and not using shift for non-proportional scaling.  To force the change of working artists is cruel and unusual punishment.  If you believe this is a good change as a default that's fine...but we should have a simple box select option in preferences to change it back to the way we've always worked.  ESPECIALLY when other adobe products are still operating the old way.  This seems like a VERY obvious fix to an extremely disruptive change...does not have to be this difficult.
