PSD transform tool with shift key - grabbing middle handle is not transforming in aspect ratio

I use Photoshop 23.3.2 right now, but the problem is occuring since end of last year 2021.
I use the old transforming option - so if you transform without any key pressed the object isn't transformed in aspect ratio, so to say it gets distorted. If you press SHIFT the object gets transformed in ratio.
So far so good. If I hold SHIFT and grab a corner handle of the object frame, everything works at it is supposed to. BUT, if I hold SHIFT and grab one of the MIDDLE handles of the object frame, the object isn't transformed in aspect ratio as it is supposed to!
I even realized that the "chain" symbol - which shows the aspect ratio transformation - is TURNING OFF when I press SHIFT and grab a middle handle. Not so, if I grab a corner handle, than the chain symbol remains active.
I also made a video, see below, so it is easier to understand...
Since a few months this error appears for me and hasn't been solved with any update.
My colleague doesn't have this problem, for her everything works as it should.
I even uninstalled an reinstalled PSD, deleting all preference data - nothing helped.
Please, anyone has or had the same issue and has any idea?!
This is driving me crazy as it makes my workflow complicated as hell...
Thank you in advance.
