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.

    Just an addition, I have another Mac running the latest version of Sonama and the same beta Photoshop version and this problem doesn't occur. This must be a problem with the beta under earlier versions of the OS.

          I cannot reproduce the issue on Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.5.0 20240129.m.2484 on Mac OS 14.2.1

          Maybe it’s platform-specific now.
