P: Transform rotate handle click zone is too small (for auto-commit change)

The rotate handles' interaction radius seem so much smaller now since the patch. You used to be able to just drag pretty much anywhere and be able to start rotating, but now after the patch I have to be relatively close to the handles in order to start rotating. Quite inconvenient because there's no reason for my cursor to do anything else when in transform mode, why restrict it?

Is there any kind of setting (I couldn't find any) I can change to revert back to previous?

I can't get used to anything there's in new Photoshop as like others I downgraded it to vers. 19.1.7. I could still use it if that was done right way, so without unexpected occurences (ie. everything that was previously thought before giving to use) or at least letting something that's obviously desired - preference / options checkbox! Then I could try that to get to know what's better for me indeed, or sometimes to practise it before I feel comfortable with and I am ready to resign from old method.

Now it's like we don't have choise, as we got forced to use it without time to adapt for it! This is not some feature you have much time to learn, but it's behaviour of often used 'tool', that you can't just start using it as human brain needs time to be ok with unusual, different and complex mechanism.

So no option, no feel I want to try it when I have will and time for, eventually only then get used!

I think it is totally disrespectful to us long term PS users. I hope some sense prevails and Adobe reverts these issues as they were.

I agree completely, but the infuriating thing isn't even that. It's the fact that they didn't offer an option. That's almost disrespectful.

I think the best solution is to go back to cc v19 with Shift and no auto commit.

I think it's fair to say by the many comments in this particular section and other complaint sections that we don't want that change.

We, the original artists and designers on desktop PCs/laptops were her long before iPads and other tablets.

We are Adobe's loyal customers and have stuck by Adobe for a very long time.

Our preferences should come before any 'tablet' preferences. The reason being is that we were trained by Adobe how to use Photoshop a very long time ago. 

Users to 'tablets' should learn how to use PS on tablets and Adobe shouldn't be making their long term customers who work on their desktop PCs/laptops learn new habits.

Adobe needs to create the changes for iPad and iPad only.

To be honest I never knew about the double click... just checked and it worked, but must hit within the bounding box, sweet...!
And they changed that?
I always knew Adobe had great mathematicians but seems their common sense elevator do not go all the way to the top floor.
When I have to hold a sandwich and work I always have to hunt down the check mark to commit... and its about two miles away on default screen with tools while I edit on secondary screen.... tnx.

I usually, but don't always, have a hand on the keyboard (like when I'm working through lunch and I have to hold a sandwich) but double-clicking was just as easy...

The only way to improve the current experience is to make auto-commit go away permanently either by option or removing it completly.... and pls bring back the old transform routine - these two would be the biggest improvement.

I would just prefer auto commit to go away... Whats wrong with pressing enter when usually one hand is on the keyboard anyway ?
I am so accustomed to hitting Ctrl+enter for text that I just do it all the time for transform too.
