P: Transform/Resize is constrained by default - Want ability to go back to legacy behavior

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.

Well I have good news on the transform front. I've finally adjusted to not holding Shift when transforming. Unfortunately, that's also the bad news.  Illustrator has other ideas. <g>

I do a post to my group every Friday called the Friday Funny. Here's this week.

Want to know why all the complaining in the world isn't going to make Adobe care what we don't like about Photoshop...

I can't get used to this!!!
- It's different for raster and vector layers!
- The constrain button doesn't work as it should!
- It's different in other Adobe products!
- It's called FREE TRANSFORM ffs, not proportional transform!
It was fine the way it was. Please revert!! This is really slowing down my workflow! I use Photoshop every day and I use both vector and raster layers so I can't get used to this! It's just horrible! REVERT!!!

For what it is worth,my Daughter the Art Director, will not let IT update her department MAC's at this time until she has a chance to determine if this is a good idea. She is in the printing business and Illustrator is a big part of what they need to do their job.

I know what all might be a problem with PS, but just wondering what in the last release of Illustrator is giving you fits?

Good to know before I shut off my CC account. It's a sad day, I have never stepped back an update in 20 plus years of using Adobe products. I've been slowed by updates until I got a handle on a new tool, but Photoshops and Illustrators changes have caused a big hit on my productivity, it is just too much to swallow this time.

Nope. The programs don't still work. They work up to the point you haven't paid for. LR will allow you to continue to access the Library module.

Part of the reason for subscription was to have a revenue stream they could count on to put into R&D, whether or not we like what they R&D.  '-}  They offer more for less, for those who use many of the apps some of the time, or for those in the Photography Plan, and we pay them that "less"  both to get more and, hopefully, to keep that R&D going.

Me, I'm on the fence about it. I see the advantage to Adobe, and the potential for advantage to us, (and the Photography Plan really is a fair value for the price compared to the competitors), but whether or not we get enough in return for our fee is a very personal decision, one that can change if we are happy with alternatives and what they cost.
