ALT key with pen tool now shows color picker. First, this allowed me to change the bend of the lines

Hi, 

After resetting my pc my photoshops pen tool doesn't seem to work as it did before. The ALT key with pen tool now shows the color picker. First, this allowed me to change the bend of the lines. (see image)

 

How can I change this? Thanks in advance.

Different thread, same reply.
I've shared this question in a couple of threads now.
I haven't yet mentioned that this is about the latest Beta update, 25.5.0.
I understand it's called "PS Beta" because it's a WIP version.
I'm just doing my best to help the work progress rather than regress.

Y'all fixed this, which was much appreciated.
But then, with the following update, it was back to this frustrating loss of function.
Is there an intention behind this?
Why do users need the eyedropper tool whilst using the pen tool more than the convert anchor point tool?
It's incomprehensible to me because I constantly use the convert anchor point tool when using the pen tool.
I'd be interested to know what that reason is because quite a few people must need this bizarre function to disable the use of PS Beta for me and everyone else who uses the convert anchor point tool.

Oh okay, so this problem is only in the beta version?
