Shift/drag fails to constrain proportions in Illustrator Beta for ARM latest update

Community Beginner ,
Apr 02, 2025 Apr 02, 2025

Much to my dismay in the last week i found holding shift and dragging corners or edges of objects with the direct select tool will no longer constrain proportions, nothing to do with whether constrain proportions is locked in any transform UI. It goes away when I roll back to the previous Beta thankfully but now i'm stuck a version behind until it is fixed.

 

If anyone has found a solution or a setting that re-enables this in the latest beta please share with the class. I do NOT want a 'workaround'. I want a core aspect of the workflow back.

 

No i also dont want to use the unsightly, slow and janky 'Free Transform' tool so dont suggest it. @adobeDevelopers Just fix it and leave our workflow alone. 

 

A little rant but Adobe seriously isn't stepping up in testing their software for Core workflow stability before releasing updates. Concentrate on keeping your longest standing customers happy instead of jamming in these unneccessary AI tools. Illustrator Beta for ARM systems is buggy enough already, Windows and Adobe updates are chasing eachother in circles trying to keep it stable, now in the second available update to the beta a core function is bugged for me and my team.

There have been many mentions lately of this problem, here and in the beta forum:

Don't use a beta for serious work, it is for testing new features and finding bugs before they enter the regular version.
