Transform no Longer Follows Priority Order

I really don't know if this bothers anyone else. Still, in earlier versions of PP, 2022 and below, the transform effect when placed in a graphic layer only affected the text and shape layers under it, priority-based. It helped that you could create a text or object animation using the Transform effect to achieve Motion blur while still having a shape mask over the text or object.
But in the recent PP versions, regardless of where the transform effect is placed, priority-wise, it affects all of the layers, which means trying to animate a text or an image whilst having a mask would no longer work, because the transform effect would animate every layer, including the mask even if it were placed under them. The only workaround is to use the transform properties of the intended text or object and lose that beautiful motion blur that comes with it
