The Move tool allows me to resize a selection in Elements 2022:

If it is not working for you, I suggest you reset the tool in the Tool Option panel:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences file. Go to Edit>Preferences>General tab and click the Reset Preferences on next launch button.

And if all else fails, use Ctrl+T to resize.

Can you please explain what you are referring to. As far as I know, nothing has changed with the basic editing tools. Are you talking about a Quick Edit?
