P: PS Beta 25.4: Pen tool: Option/Alt shortcut key

I have encountered some difficulties with the pen tool in Photoshop 25.4. Since the latest update, the pen tool does not work as it should. For instance, when I try to remove an anchor point, the convert point tool does not switch on automatically. Also, the eyedropper tool appear when i press ALT button. These problems are affecting my workflow and productivity. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to resolve this error. Thank you for your time and attention.

    WRONG! You can install a previous version of the beta through Create Cloud apps. Open Creative Cloud and go to Beta apps/Photoshop (Beta), click the three dots to the right, click "Other versions", install Photoshop Beta 25.2. Beta 25.2 does not have this issue.

      Tengo un problema parecido con la pluma en la version BETA
      cuando hago una curva y necesito quitar el punto de ancla que se genera al estirar el mause, preciono ALT para quitar ese punto de ancla y seguir haciendo nuevas curvas, pero en vez de quitarse con ALT me sale el el cuentagotas y no necesito tomar ningun color , necesito quitar el punto de ancla que quedo derecho 
      porque quiero hacer otra curva.

      hice un video de mas o menos lo que sucede

        No, you can't download previous versions of the Beta. The purpose of the beta is for finding and reporting bugs to the Photoshop team and it doesn't help them if you are not using the most current version that has been updated.

         

        This bug is only in the beta. You can update to the new version that you just got a notice for OR you can use the released version, which does not have the bug.

            Is there a way to download previous version of this? I can't find the app in my creative cloud under all apps to click the 3 dots

             

            I'm on a mac. If this is such an issue why did i get a popup this morning to update this app. They could have pulled the update for people who hadn't updated already...

                  Bonjour, 

                  Depuis la version beta 25.3 (et 25.4) de Photoshop beta, quand j'utilise l'outil plume et que j'appui sur la touche "alt" pour pouvoir supprimer/ajouter une poignée à un point d'ancrage (photo en pièce jointe), j'ai l'outil pipette qui apparait à la place de cette option liée à l'outil plume.
                  Sauriez-vous me dire s'il s'agit d'un probleme lié à la derniere version de photoshop beta ?
                  Car j'ai réinstallé l'ancienne version beta 25.2 pour tester et l'outil plume refonctionne correctement donc je ne pense pas à une fausse manip.
                  Merci d'avance.

                    W

                    Bonjour, je n'ai pas trouvé de solution et je pense que ça vient de photoshop.
                    J'ai installé la dernière version à ce jour de la version beta sur le poste d'une collègue et elle rencontre le même problème.
                    Donc à moins d'un correctif, je pense qu'il n' y a rien à faire... en esperant que ce problème n'apparaisse pas dans la version finale.

                    The bug is only in the beta version, as it says throughout this thread. Use the released version.
