P: Can't move Reference Point while transforming (22.0.1)

New bug introduced in Version 22.0.1 on Mac. While transforming the (anchor) reference point can not be moved by holding Opt/Alt and clicking to a new position. The workaround is to move the cursor while clicking on the new position, then the new anchor point appears at the new position. Clicking once is doing nothing.

@danielle_keller  Me too, but if you don't already know... clicking, dragging it around a bit and then releasing seems to work 99% of the time. It's not as good as simply clicking the spot... but it's a workaround that's made it tolerable for me while waiting for a fix.

Hoping this gets fixed soon.

@mladen_penev Clicking alone doesn't work, but if you click and drag, then let go where you want it, it seems to work. Apparently, that's the official work-around at the moment.

Still not resolved in 22.1.0 !?

As of this most recent release, 22.0.1, the free transform tool (regardless of settings such as 'show reference point when using transform' and regardless of 3d acceleration settings and reproducible surviving a preferences reset), will not allow for a single click to set the transform reference point.  This is problematic for some users, whether it be input challenges or just the fact that you can't quickly and easily set the transform reference point, especially on large objects that require precise manipulation.  This is a cross post from community forums and I don't know if this is frowned upon, but a link to that exchange is here

Same issue here: asus laptop with i7 cpu, windows 10, nvidia geforce GTX 1050, PS 22.0.1

alt+click was waaay more smart than alt+click+drag, please fix it.

thanks

Same problem here on Windows 10, OS and CC up to date. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, driver up to date.

Your workaround doesn't work for me. I hope this will be fixed, as I use this all the time...

UPDATE: workaround works! In my search for a solution I had disabled reference point, but now I have enabled it, the workaround works. thnx

With 20.0.1 update, the define origin point for transform is not working. Only can move visible center point to define the start point.

Hello, another problem here:

there was always a shortcut to place manually the reference point just with a click ("Shift+Alt+CMD-click").

Now it does not work anymore.

This is an important time saver, especially in huge documents.

Please fix that!

Thanks!
