System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 2060/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 461.40

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.92.0, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-24 16:25, hash: 02948a2cab
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
In sculpt mode, Scale tool with pivot center set to cursor does not work as expected. The area close around the scaling center seems to go away from the gizmo.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Open attached file or:
  • Create a half masked sculpt object
  • switch the transform pivot to cursor.
  • place the cursor anywhere on a surface (preferably uneven, with hills and valeys).
  • Select scale tool in sculpt toolbar
  • Scale on the Z axis
    The surface close to the pivot point should be the least affected but it translates along the axis of scale.

Transforming in sculpt mode works by applying the same transformation that is happening to the sculpt pivot (a internal point were the transform gizmo snaps by default) to all the vertices in the sculpt + mirror operations. If you change the pivot origin, you are not scaling the vertices form that pivot, but scaling the sculpt pivot from the 3D cursor and the copying the transformation to the vertices. That is why it looks like it is moving.
