Error: Freeze Transfor was not applied because boxCover.rotateX has incoming connection.

what this mean?

im having a similar problem

when i combine polygons the scale tools pivot is not align to world axis so when change scale the object streaches in
the wrong way distorting the objects original shape
, so how do i align pivot to world axis

i tried freeze transformation, deleting history, center pivot,
and all the settings of scale tool

the same thing happens for move and rotate tool

here a top view and perspective view print screen
