video showing transform and move tool

krita-4.2.0-pre-alpha-127857b-x86_64.appimage

Tested with fresh configuration (removing existing ~/.local/share/krita, ~/.config/krita*)

Reproducible: Always

Steps:
1. Create new document (ctrl+n)
2. Draw object on layer 2
3. Create new layer (insert)
4. Draw object on layer 3
5. Select both layers 2 and 3 (using ctrl+left click)
6. Try to transform (ctrl+t) only one of the layers, the last one selected, will work
 
Results:
Transform tool works on multiple layers only if they are grouped, and the group layer is selected.

Expected:
Transform tool to operate on multiple selected layers, regardless of grouping, like the move tool does.

The transform tool explicitly says it operates on a layer or selection, however compared to the move tool it behaves inconsistently, leading to a bad user experience. It is annoying to have to create groups for everything separately if wanting to move or rotate multiple layers quickly.

There is also a long delay when trying to transform on a group of layers.
