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.

And according to Adobe at Max 2018, multiple undo's was changed for this exact reason, to unify between the programs. ...The irony.

Jonah, I am having the exact same problem. I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop all day, and it is very frustrating. So much for inter-app workflow.

If Photoshop was the only Adobe CC product I used, I’d grit my teeth and get used to the new way of resizing. However, I spend all day jumping from Illustrator to Photoshop to Indesign and back again (and again) — and the other two programs didn’t change. So I am constantly doing it wrong. It’s beyond frustrating.

Please fix this Adobe. It is maddening. It should be optional. You have thousands of designers pulling their hair out because of a reversal of a standard that exists EVERYWHERE and you aren't even consistent in changing it across your applications. Please put it back and make it optional to turn on rather than require knowledge of coding and digging through preference files to figure out how to revert. That is ridiculous.

jfc, just make the text file and drop it in your preferences folder and be done with it. It works. It takes two minutes and you can stop waiting for Adobe to fix something. If they do, great. If they don't, you already have.

They could if they cared, even a little but all they really care about is locking you in to their monthly subscription. And since the employees are so locked into the b.s. of the company line, they will rarely if ever be involved in corporate self-criticism.

100% agree: change is inevitable, necessary, and sometimes good. But in a product like this, when you change a core behavior that people rely upon you REALLY need to give an easy way to set the "make it work like before" preference, not force them to create a config file...
