Transform Each for linked images affects the firstly selected ones only, ignoring those added to a selection later with a marquee
As found by @SugarT2O (https://x.com/SugarT2O/status/2064603604322066447), when selecting linked images in several steps, adding them to selection with Shift held, Ai would apply Transform Each only to the first selection made, ignoring those added to the selection with subsequent marqueeing.
Steps are quite simple.
1. Add 2 linked images in a document.
2. Select one on canvas (a click is fine)
3. Hold Shift and marquee (not click!) the other one
4. Call Transform Each and input something like 150% in Width
Notice only the first image selected is affected.
A ridiculous bug!

I believe this is an issue related to selection behavior.
If you display the bounding boxes and check the behavior, you should understand what I mean.
The object selected in step 3 is not included in the bounding box.
In this state, “Align” and “Distribute” will not work correctly either.
