Shift Constrain not working

Since update to v29.5.0.35, holding the shift key while resizing an object does not constrain the aspect ratio of the object.
This happens whether "Transform Tools" is checked or unchecked.

One exception is if I create a new object using the shape tool. Constraint works for those objects until I alter them, or if I try to resize while another object is selected.

I have reset preferences, restarted Illustrator and the OS.

    Using shape shift in combination with image transformation isn't working in the beta version of Illustrator. I tried every possible solution, but none worked.

    This issue doesn't occur in the regular version.

    When choosing the tools, the function of proportionally scaling the text or images doesn't work. Even if the "shift" key is pressed, the scaling effect cannot be achieved. Now I have to suspect that all your developers are just kids. More and more basic errors keep emerging, which seriously affects the usability of the product.

    Version number: beta29.552

    Downgraded to 29.4.73 - Shift constrain is working OK in that version.

    Proportional scale not working for text, in the new updated Beta version, this is even when holding the shift key.

    The text will scale unproportionally based on where you move the arrow.

    My work-around was to downgrade to 29.4.73. Shift constrain working OK in that version.
