Problems with resizing text boxes in PS CC 2019

Hello, 

I have not worked with text boxes for a while but for a new project I have to.

I try to resize a text box (with the text tool to preserve the size of the text) to strech it. When I grab a handle in the middle of the text box boundary the frame stays fixe at the opposit boundary but grows or shrinks on all of the remaining boundaries. Thus I can't for example resize a text box from "portrait" to "landscape". Probably I have only missed a setting that is somewhere hidden in the tools seetings?

Do you hold down Shift while resizing? If I can understand your problem correctly then the only way to replicate is to hold down Shift while reizing.

    That's definitely about the right direction.
