Photoshop CC 2019: Free Transform Maintain Aspect Ratio broken [Aspect ratio remains fixed even when Maintain Aspect Ratio is unticked]
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2548795
When the Maintain Aspect Ratio box is unchecked, Free Transform should be non-proportional.
However, in version 20 (Oct 2018 release) the aspect ratio remains locked whether or not the Maintain Aspect Ratio box is clicked. Only using the shift key (new behaviour) seems to work.
Reported in Adobe Photoshop forums by Win 10 users.

When you un-check the Maintain Aspect Ratio constrain link on the toolbar and then use transform it still maintains aspect ratio. . . un-checking the link should disable aspect ratio shouldn't it?
The shift key + transform disables aspect ratio but doesn't correspond with the constrain link on the tool bar.

Thanks for your feedback. We feel your frustration and we're working to try to fix everything we can, as quickly as we can.
We ARE aware of the issue with the Maintain Aspect Ratio button. It IS a bug, we've been aware of it for some time, and unfortunately it's much harder to fix than you might think. Rest assured, we're going to fix it as soon as we can.
In the meantime, please hang in there. Depending on the layer type you're transforming, the Shift key WILL work to flip the default transform method (proportional vs. non-proportional). Turning off Proportional Transform via the gestalt control -- see Hannah's post above -- is another way to go if you get too frustrated.

However, if they won't, at least make the "lock" button work properly.
Example:
If the lock button is ON dragging will scale the image proportionally. Shift + drag will free-scale.
If the lock button is OFF the behavior is reversed. Dragging will free-scale. Shift + drag will scale proportionally.
This way you would keep old and new users happy.

Select an object, and drag the side node to stretch sideways and realised Photoshop now has the 'maintain aspect ratio' on as default, unticked the link icon but it does not disable, the only way is to hold Shift when resizing which is the opposite of the old way.

I won't be installing the new version until all the bugs have been fixed.
Cheers!

Yes, people tend to scale proportional than warping the image. I'm glad Adobe finally got that - at least some of it. Even if you want to scale just one side you actively choose to scale this side by grabbing it! Duh'...
Same goes for the numeric scale option in the top bar. Adobe, it's the same thing! Activate the proportional link icon by default! What's wrong with you??? It's one click more every single effin time!
By the way, the unit in this input should always represent the one chosen in the ruler or info palette. You can still change it of course but the default should orientate itself on the global option!
