Sometimes shift constrains proportional resizing, sometimes it doesn't

Question

Since the latest CC 2019 objects resize proportionally by default, while holding down shift enables a non-proportional resizing (confusingly opposite from the other CC programs, but whatever). However, it's not consistent: sometimes the behavior reverts, seemingly randomly, back to hold-shift-to-constrain. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix? I can probably adapt to having it either way, but I'd like it consistent.

If you using CC 2019 new transform feature you are correct some layer are not transform like other layers. It you read the update info the is a way to can revert to Photoshop's old consistent way. New and enhanced features | Latest release of Photoshop CC

Its not Random it layer type

Photoshop now transforms most layer types (such as pixel layers, type layers, bitmaps, Placed Smart Objects) proportionally by default. Shapes and paths, that is vectors, still transform non-proportionally by default.

Does not see to mention Transforming other things like Selections.

Ok, not confusing at all, Photoshop. Thanks!
