The Ripple Edit [ B ] tool no longer works the same in Premiere 25.6

This is a terrible design change that broke something that wasn't broken. This is 10 steps backwards for a daily fundamental tool. Who thought this was a good idea? 

It has been a few weeks of daily use now so I can confidently say it's not just the initial shock anymore. This new way is just really annoying.  Please allow us to toggle the way this works.

The new ripple is VERY disorienting. I've been noticing a pattern of these changes to UI (the first one was import window,  and recently this ripple change). It's really frustrating especially when you're in a project and go to update the program you've used for a years and the core experience is changing. I just don't understand the logic to change fundementals that are legacy tools you guys made so well. Please man. Come on.

Ripple edit is about as foundational a tool as is possible. A ripple edit has got to be damn near the second most used tool I use behind the selection tool. This change represents a sizable philisophical adjustment. I am CONSTANTLY dragging to a specific waveform. Now, instead of accurately dragging to in front of an audio peak, I am disoriented by the entire track moving.

To whomever decided to make this change: is there a reason why we're changing this behavior? I understand that it shows the timeline's final form more quickly, but it has the side effect of removing accuracy in making the edit. Very "final cut-y"  in behavior. I would strongly suggest that this become an option. I LOVE an option. Heck, there may even be times I WANT the new behavior. But for my current project outlay, I am very disoriented and would like to have the old way back.

The people on this thread may not be a majority voice, but they sound like the experienced core of your community—I'd guess everyone commenting on this page are among your 1% users. This is that sort of an issue.

Thank you for your consideration.

15+ year Premiere user here adding my to the choir of distaste with this update. The problem with this design change is that it appears to be attempting to mimic the way ripple edits look in Da Vinci Resolve's Edit panel. However, there's a key element missing in Adobe's implementation: the ability to snap to the playhead. 

In Resolve, the cut point and playhead can be snapped together in a ripple edit, even with the similar dynamic visual, but this is now not possible in Premiere, even with snapping turned on. The way that I make ripple edits most often is to find the approprate frame, set the playhead there, and ripple trim the cut point to the playhead. This workflow was no different between the two softwares; it just looked different from one to the other. However, I now need to figure out another way of using ripple edits in Premiere, for no identifiable user benefit in return.

I get that Resolve has boomed in popularity in recent years, but that's no reason to poorly mimic its UI. The result is a new Premiere update that's unnecessarily more frustrating to use.

Adobe, please don't ignore this thread. This is something that needs to be addressed, please.

this update has me ready to cancel my subscription, adobe sort it out

YES. Can we please GO BACK to the legacy Ripple Edit tool? Or offer a change to remove the "slip" feature. VERY hard to use.

YES. Can we please GO BACK to the legacy Ripple Edit tool? I just updated my Premiere and it was soooo confusing. I always ripple edit based on where my playhead is and now it's almost impossible and leaves me guessing where my cut goes! I had to downgrade to older versions because I can't work like that.
