Animate Line Drawing problem

This is a problem that I never ran into in previous versions of Animate.  I hope someone has some insight!

Half of the time I'm editing line segments (created with the pencil tool) Animate adds a corner point and just pulls out the point with a really tight arc.  Image below shows what I mean.

 

Another way of explaining it is that even when I have a line segment that is simple and has been smoothed and which I KNOW has only two or three points - when I go to move it a little bit, Animate treats the line like it has a HUNDRED points right next to each other.  I made a short video of the problem with me explaining it here:

I hope someone has someone can help me!

      What version of animate are you using? You may have discovered a bug.

      I've been using Adobe Animate (Flash) since 1999 and the drawing tools seem much worse in the latest version.  Maybe I'm missing something?  It was never bad like this before.
