transform handles after doing Ctrl-T on a smart object

Question

I was trying to resize a smart object layer. I usually use the shortcut Ctrl-T to bring up the trnasform gizmo. Nothing happened. I tried it many ties on different smart object layers and the smae problem persisted.

If I go to Edit-->Fre Trasnfrom, the gizmo appears without problem.

I tried Ctrl-T on normal layers, and it works.

Hi Cory. I tried again and now it's working (I think there was an app update recently). I'll let you know if this happens again.

Hi @skilled_Galaxy1679 testing here and it appears to be working as expected. Make sure to update to the latest version: Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.7.0 20250422.m.3052 1f4af87 arm64

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac) 

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
