the transform tool contrains move/rotate/resize to a fixed amount when pressing shift . This is great,but it only works when pressing shift AFTER dragging one of the handles. I think it should work also when pressing it before dragging. This would makes unify it with the CTRL+drag that also works by pressing before the actual dragging. And it would make the tool more versatile. Releasing shift while drag is going on should still cancel out the constrain function. This should work wether you move,resize or rotate. There are more tools that could benefit from this way of working : box select, oval select, box shape, any other tool that has some kind of modifier effect when pressing shift should already be active when you press before actually dragging/susing the tool. Reproducible: Always
Ack, this really is a confusing bug.

This bug has resurfaced on Windows 8.1, Krita x64 2.7.9.5 (although I first noticed it in a previous build).
*** Bug 330975 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is the bug still reproduceable? Appears to work here.
The other day I had thought (or possibly imagined) for a moment that it was fixed in X64 2.8.79.10, but having just tested it again, it appears not. On a possibly related note, snapping the rotation to 15° angles also only works when pressing shift after dragging. And 3D rotate seems to no longer work *without* snapping (except on the odd random occasion), but that's probably a separate issue.
This works in 2.9. Tested right now with a version built fresh from latest source.
this seems solved again.
