It appears that the latest Adobe update (Photoshop CC 2019) has changed the way proportions are done. Previously I would use Shift + Drag to constrain proportions in Free Transform mode. Photoshop now defaults to only Drag to keep proportions in Free Transform and uses Shift + Drag to size at any ratio.
I could manual click the proportion lock in the toolbar but after more than a decade of using Shift + Drag, it's really cumbersome to have to take this extra step and it's disrupting the workflow that's been ingrained in my head since I started using Ps.
Has anyone found a way to enable Shift + Drag to constrain proportions in the latest Photoshop CC 2019?

FYI, instead of manually clicking proportion lock, you can just drag the transform box and it defaults to keep proportion. They just reversed the function so shift + drag is to do free form and only dragging keeps proportion.

To revert to the legacy transform behavior, do the following:
Use Notepad (Windows) or a text editor on Mac OS to create a plain
text file (.txt). Type the text below in the text file:
TransformProportionalScale 0
Save the file as
PSUserConfig.txtto your Photoshop settings folder:
Windows: [Installation Drive]:Users[User
Name]AppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CC 2019Adobe Photoshop CC
2019 Settings
macOS: //Users/[User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe

@Vincent, I agree...I still run CS6 on my personal computers. I've had zero problems with my "out of the box" software, whereas my subscription experience with CC (on work computers) is riddled with these types of fixes.
