Transform Scale does not work as expected

Question

I want to scale a picture and select all, then Edit > Transform > Scale. The picture is surrounded by a frame with boxes.

Gripping a corner box to scale will allow frame to follow, but image is not following and remains untouched.

Depending on what I do next, I can use Edit > Undo, or, if I did something else between, for instance clicked outside the frame, I can do Edit > Undo Free Transform.

In spite of undoing everything, including the Edit > Undo Select Canvas, the picture itself is regarded as changed, although it should not be changed.

I asked for Transform > Scale, NOT a Edit Free Transform. Why the 'Undo Free Transform'?

I can no longer scale images. How should it be, if Adobe maintains a higher quality of their products, and don't through new features in the lap of innocent unprepared users? I have spent hours to figure out what has happened to the old simple Transfer > Scale command. THINGS MUST ALWAYS WORK!

What has been done to PhotoShop CC 2019? Is this behaviour a new feature, or do we have nasty bugs in the new version of PhotoShop?

You also do not need to select all if you want to transform the whole layer transform defaults to the whole layer. Adobe also changed transform in CC 2019 which upset users for Adobe disrupted their workflow. Makings transforms operation inconsistent.

Transform now scales some layer constrained and others unconstrained by default Adobe transform scale operation is no longer consistent. How it works depends on layer type. All was published in the CC 2019 update documentation.
