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

100% agree... 

@Warren Heaton

Dude, we are way beyond 'being positive in our approach'.

This change proves Adobe doesn't understand design consistency, doesn't understand professional users, and doesn't understand communication.

The longer this half-baked rolled out is not acknowledged, the worse it will get.

After a thread with 1000s of posts, I'm pretty sure they ought to know what is going on by now.

If they won't fix something because of the frustrated temperature of their official form, that's another issue, and quite petty at best.

If the forum wants to moderate discussion,fine. Until then, people are human and they will vent in their own ways. It would be ridiculous for them to misconstrue the intent here.

Warren this is great and I agree entirely with that second paragraph — especially about trying to remain civil and positive and not be combative.

I admit we can all get carried away with emotion on here for sure.

But that should also illustrate how huge a mistake this change is and the level of inconvenience it has caused to a basic workflow. It would be like changing the gas pedal and brake pedal on all cars overnight.

Thanks for the awareness check.

I wasn't advocating for harassing Adobe influencers.

Just contacting them on Social to get their opinion and input.

Definitely need to use all channels when they are at our disposal.

Try to reach out in a decent way and ask questions. Stay positive, etc.
But also be serious in stating the issues.

I have already had some great responses from Terry, Jeffrey, Scott, and other Adobe advocates on Twitter in literally minutes after I tagged them on Twitter. That seems way more effective to me than this forum.

Here's a little something from NYU's guide for managing thread discussions that seems like it could use mentioning here in light of the tone of this thread.  This is meant for student discussion groups, but it applies even though this is a forum for consumers rather than students.

Civility in discussion. Students should be reminded that the objective is to be collaborative, not combative. Also, they need to know that even an innocent remark in the online environment can be misconstrued. Therefore, they should proofread their threaded discussion responses carefully before posting them and they should try to ensure that others will not take their posts as a personal attack. It will be useful if the course outline reminds students with a statement such as: “Be positive in your approach to others and careful about your words. Since we cannot see each other, it is hard to tell if you are bashful, bored, sarcastic, or just kidding. Use these discussions to develop your collaborative teamwork and interaction skills.”

Just a reminder:  High vote counts are what matter most in this feedback forum.  

Harassing Adobe employees and Adobe influencers on social media is not a constructive way to bring attention to the issue nor does it increase the vote count on this thread.

Also, if one feels that the feedback to response time is too slow, start a thread about that and then encourage others to vote for it.

As far as "I don't think it's allowed" goes, it's a user-configurable change (it's literally named "PSUserConfig.txt") and as such within the user agreement guidelines.  

Although that is a pretty specious argument since Adobe can give us anything, including installation instructions, and we're not "reverse engineering," nor decompiling. We're allowed to add and delete as much as we want—that's the purpose of scripts, plug-ins, extensions, and the ability to write our own. Their own folders and files are not protected against us deleting them, either, thus altering the app often considerably, sometimes to benefit under their own instructions.

Unless Adobe provides it, of course, it doesn't come with any guarantee of working and not killing the app. . . Of course, IF Adobe provides it, the only guarantee is that they'll get around to fixing problems in the order of magnitude that they consider them to fall under.  '-}

To be even more accurate ... I don't think it's allowed ... covered by the terms of use ... 

Comes under modify ... ???
