Nice screenshot.
The chain option is replaced by selecting the actual layer(s) CTRL-CLICK to add to selection.
EDIT: difficult to see using that black theme but you do have 9 items (layers) selected.
Looks like you have Corrective (backward) mode option in the scale tool Change to Normal (Forward mode)
