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

yes this is great to see given attention!  Now if we can get a photoshop style transformation in illustrator...lol

Hallelujah! what took them so long. But still, thanks Adobe.

I use this all the time and was really confused when it stopped functioning. I am glad to learn that there is a workaround (during free transform simply hold alt and sliding the mouse a little while clicking instead of just clicking. It is unfortunate that it is not fixed yet.

Still not fixed in 22.4.

The workaround helps, thanks for that.

But I have to say it's getting more then a bit annoying that I have to come here to look for workarounds for issues that didn't exist in, say, PS CC 2019 or PS CS6.

Can we please get a version without new, shiny, useless bells & whistles which just works, without new bugs, memory leaks, stalls, etc. 

I mean, we are paying for it…

I've been struggling with the same issue. Many thanks for the workaround suggestions for this bug. While I'm not seeing the reference point as I do it, option clicking as I'm moving the mouse around seems to work to set the reference point.

(Photoshop 22.3.0, MacBook Air M1, macOS 11.2.3 Big Sur)

I literally had the City of Chicago fix a pothole in less time than it's taken Adobe to address this issue.

I just started using PhotoShop 22.3.0 Mac. Same issue. 😞

Good grief. How many months does it need to take before this is fixed?

Ah great thanks very much - irritating, but can see it'll normalise soon....
