Photoshop paths (bezier) legacy option

I don't suppose there's an option in Photoshop to get paths to move as they used to?

Like a legacy option? Rather than the annoying feature when if you click near a point and handle Photoshop decides to move the point and rotate/change the handles as you move, rather than just the path point, if you get my point.

Look in the right end of the Option bar for the Path Selection or Direct Selection tools, and make sure the Constrain Path Dragging box is checked.

"Constrain Path Dragging" - not really well named, but I'll take it!
