Object resizing and rotating

Up until this current version (25.4.0), I was always able to click a corner of an object and manually rotate it to fit my purposes. If I didn't manually rotate, I was at least able to go up to the toolbar and enter my desired rotation degrees. Now, however, as soon as I click the corner of the object and try to move my cursor to the toolbar, the object starts moving, and it's never how I want it to move. I end up hitting ESC or CTRL+Z to get out of it and then try again, this time double-clicking the object corner in order to get it to behave the way it had for decades in the past.

Is this a bug? Is it something that can be disabled so it behaves like it used to? Or is this yet another stupid thing that Adobe changed in order to mess with legacy users such as myself?
