Can't use direct selection to adjust size f text box and other objects together, used to be able to.

If I had a rectangular text box sitting on top of a rectangular shape, I used to be able to use my direct selection tool, select the bottom anchor points of both the shape and the text box, and resize them together. Now when I select them both, the shape changes size but the text box remains the same shape and size and just moves the entire box with the shape anchors. What gives? Is there a setting I need to change or has this been updated away? It is especially usefeul for odd shaped text boxes with multiple anchor points that has become increasingly frustrating to have to click each anchor point of the text box instead of dragging and selecting all points.
