Healing Brush in CC2017

I was working on Photoshop CS6 and lately, I've updated to the CC2017 version and i'd like to know if there's a way to make the healing brush work like before.

The healing brush in CC2017 is not responding the same as CS6. It's really annoying.
Can we make it work like before? What am I missing?

Thanks.

I haven't noticed that the healing brush is acting differently, maybe because I mainly use the spot healing brush.

But there is a preference for this in CC 2017.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Tools (Photoshop > Preferences > Tools if you're on a Mac), and check Use legacy healing algorithm for the healing brush.
