No. I'm sorry I was not clear. Thanks for responding btw.
TYPICALLY: When you press Ctrl while you have the Text tool. It (the text tool) becomes the move tool as it has for all previous versions of photoshop. You can use this tool (Text tool while you hold Ctrl) to select objects and move and resize (free transform using Ctrl+T) and so on.
The problem (or maybe it is intentional) with CC is now that using this same method ONLY FREE TRANSFORMS (Ctrl+T) shapes/paths and not the other layers even including text layers.
So let me say this a different way so that I am not misunderstood again:
I select the Type tool.
I press Ctrl (Type tool becomes move tool...the black arrow) and drag and select a bunch of objects and layers.SO far so good.
I can move all these objects as I keep Ctrl pressed down. Still good..still following me?
Now I press Ctrl+T (Free Transform).
The box comes up around all the objects.
I begin to resize and only SHAPES AND PATHS are affected during the resize. EVERYTHING ELSE remains untouched...EVEN TEXT LAYERS.
Perhaps this is intentionial in CC. Perhaps there is a setting I am not aware of. Or maybe it is a bug. Either way I would like some kind of answer from someone that knows what is going on.
