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.

One polite observation to start and finish this discussion. I hope someone prominent will read it 😉

Adobe,
Please read what you're users are saying about your Transform Tool changes:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/10682827

These changes have made the user experience much worse. There have been several updates to Photoshop, but no address of how to make the changes optional in Preferences. How long will it take you to respond to the issues you've caused many of your users?

We appreciate the new features, but PLEASE do not mess with your core functionality. People use this software for their living!

Maybe something will be chnaged for better. I see there are other popular topics from past with many likes however noticably less than this one. They had no any impact though, but maybe now there is little more chance for some kind of reversion:

We shouldn't have to do this. This is Adobe's responsibility. We don't get paid the big bucks to code Adobe software. Come on Adobe engineers, listen to us, your long term loyal users.  . . . Then again why would you Adobe, when you probably get thousands of 'new' customers a week, who wouldn't know about the dramas we 'old school' had to put up with your buggy software. I guess our threats of abandoning your product wouldn't worry you in the least.

This is a huge mistake. Thoughtless, careless, and borderline offensive. We rely on a stable system, and you can't just go reversing behaviors for no damn reason. You might as well start switching up the tool hotkeys. Make (e) select the brush and (b) select the eraser. Why not make cmd+w open a new window? You're not solving a problem, you're just making things confusing and breaking the flow that every advanced user has built over years of working. Please change things back and stop trying to "fix" things that aren't broken.

This update is one of the dumbest things I can imagine. Why not just start randomly changing hotkeys, too? why not switch it so (e) selects the brush and (b) selects the eraser? This was not a problem, and does not need to be fixed. Kindly change it back so I can regain my faith in Adobe. This was a very careless and stupid change.

Please change this back, or at least give us the option to use the Legacy version for "pro" users. It's beyond comprehension that a legacy feature was not included.

I use the latest update for Windows 10. I have also installed that day CS6 again. I don't know maybe having these two versions at same time make a problem, but so far with previous releases both of them didn't affect conflict. That's the only suspiction as I couldn't determine the cause of this more than preprexling behaviour. So maybe sole Ps 20 (with/out update) causes the freezing problem.

Are you by any chance using an old OS?

PS 2019 is a train wreck, but it never locked my iMac up.
