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.

It is very sad that Adobe has not solved this problem for about 5 months! Today I updated the beta version, the problem persists for mac.

I don't think it's reasonable to want to silence all complaint with 'It's a beta'. 

@Martin32279432sa1y , I perceive a dissonance in your sentence between »complaint« and »beta«; please report all the bugs and shortcomings you find, that way you are doing Adobe a favor and potentially other/future Photoshop-users to boot.

But I don’t think one has a right to »complain« about a public Beta disappointing in some (or several) regards.

I don't think it's reasonable to want to silence all complaint with 'It's a beta'. Without feedback (and some of it is going to be from frustrated people), Beta schemes are pointless. Besides which, this particular glitch has plagued the main branch too, persistently.

Just updated to 25.5.0 (beta) and wish that I hadn't, since the path/eyedropper bug is back after having been fixed in the previous version. Branch collision..?

@pscotton , I cannot reproduce the issue on 

Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.4.0 20240118.r.319 on Mac OS 14.2.1

at all. 

 

And on 

Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.5.0 20240203.m.2489 on Mac OS 14.2.1

I cannot reproduce Paths getting lost after closing the file. 

Not even a Work Path. 

Can you reproduce this issue? What kind of Path (Path, Vector Mask, Work Path) is affected? What is the exact version of Beta you are using?

Actually it not only happens in my beta version it happens in the original version after an update

I haven't had this probelm until now. I am using Photoshop Beta 25,5 on a Mac and the problem only started today (8th Feb 2024). Also when I create a path and save it and save the document ...the path has vanished when I reoepn the docment ...losing hours of work creating a complicated path
