Hi, I tested this with the latest git master version. The pivot point behaves properly. If you move the pivot point manually inside the selected object to a random location, you can see the behavior better. Scaling from any direction adheres to the pivot point, and pressing Alt while scaling overrides it. The only reason you are seeing this behavior is because the pivot point is on top of outer boundary you are trying to drag. Krita handles this like a normal scale then, as there is no more space to reduce between the pivot point and the outer boundary of the object.
