Recent bug? Scale the artboard WITHOUT scaling the art

I see people have the opposite problem - they WANT the art to re-scale when they re-size the artboard. I do not.

 

Since the latest updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator, now when I change the artboard or textbox size or shape (in both programs!), the art or text inside automatically resizes (read: distorts horribly!). The workaround I found is to LOCK my art and text layers before resizing the artboard. REALLY?

 

REALLY, ADOBE? WHY is this happening? More importantly how can I STOP it from happening and set it to behave like Illustator and Photoshop versions of LAST MONTH? I have looked for options in Preferences, and see nothing makes sense or clearly controls this annoyance.

 

Please help.

Are you using the Beta version? There is an option in the Control panel and the Properties panel that can be unchecked.

Yes, Beta. *sigh* So much for relying on old habits and NOT scrutinizing what might now be either new or set as new default. With a little embarrassment, I offer my deepest thanks for getting me back on a productive and less frustrated track!

Good to hear that helped, it is actually a very useful feature when you need it.
