Select + Shift is Not Scaling Proportionally

Places images, and text boxes are simply not scaling proportionally even tho I am pressing the

shift key as  I usually would.
I de- installed and re-installed Photoshop 26.5 thinking the error message I was getting had somethin to do with this - but nothing was solved. 
I've tried re setting my preferences.
De-installing and re-installing Illusrator and nothing. 

Does anyone know why this could be happening? 


Correct answer Ton Frederiks

It is a problem with the beta version, use the regular version for serious work.

Some mention of it here:

Hello @Bojana28193159rdwx,

Would you mind confirming the exact version of the OS and Illustrator installed, so I can better assist you? Also, try running Illustrator under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
