Simplify Tool not working as expected

I saw another post on this, about how the old simplify tool worked great, but the new one somehow is a step backwards. That post was over a year old and just today I ran into a situation that illustrates it well, so I'm asking again to work on the simplify tool: I wanted to delete excess points on a straight path on a 60 degree hexagon - but it doesn't delete nealy all the extra points before it deletes everything above 59 degrees, see GIF. Is it something with my settings? Or just the functionality of the tool?

Hello @Danny51,

Thanks for your patience. Would you mind unchecking the option for Convert to Straight Lines to see if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

I have now tried it again(with a different shape that has the same issues) and if I don't use the straight lines options, the shape will get curves before the extra points are deleted. I've tried every combination I could think of and I know for a fact this used to work just fine in the past.
