Question

How to disable auto-drag feature on transform?

A bit difficult to explain, but I will try.

Whenever I paste an image and click on the edge of that image so I can use the transform feature, the edge of the image seems to snap to the mouse pointer and move along with it while resizing the image.

 

I don't want that to happen. It used to be where you click on the edge of an image and the transform tool would show on the top bar, without the image snapping to the pointer.

 

Is there a disable feature for that?

    Cant reproduce  it. Please try to reset preferences from Preferences Panel.

      I have this problem, too. I have reset the preferences, but it doesn't work. This bug is creating a massive disruption to my workflow since I don't always remember to double-click the corners instead of single-clicking like I've done for close to two decades. Why do the devs insist on messing with muscle memory?

        Do you have the grid turned on?

        Does it happen close the image bounds?

        Does it still happen if you turn off Snap? (Shift Ctrl 😉

         

        This setting shouldn't be causing it, but try turning it off anyway.

         

        What is the pixel size of the document, and object you are transforming?

         

        A lot of these issues are display related, and Disabling Native Canvas in Preferences > Tech Previews seems to fix way more of them than you'd ever imagine, so give that a try to rule it out.  Same thing with your video card driver.  Turn off Use Graphics Processor in Preferences > Performance, and if that fixes it, have a look at your video card driver, or come back after going Help > System Info > Copy and paste to this thread.

         

        Good luck.  Of course it may be a bug and out of our control, but it's worth a try.


        I almost never use the grid. And Snap has been turned on and off with no change to behavior.

        Proximity to image bounds has no effect on the behavior.

        I have changed everything you've suggested with no change. I attached a screen recording to a different reply if you want to take a look. My System Info is attached.
