New crop tools don't allow you to click and drag the crop window

Although I appreicate that the crop tool has been made a default option in Premiere, it's still missing the core useful feature of the original crop effect - being able to select the effect, and then drag in from one of the 8 blue boxes around the image to crop. This is so much easier than changing each of the 4 left, top, right, bottom parameters individually for most use cases.

 

Please add this functionality to new crop tools.

BTW: The button is Toggle direct manipulation and the arrow is to select the direct manipulation.

They're there. On the program monitor with the clip selected in the timeline or a double-click on the monitor. On the lower left corner, there's a button and a drop-down arrow, select the Crop in the dropdown arrow, then make sure the (now) crop button next to it is on/highlighted, then you'll see the crop selectors.
