Object drawing mode does not work for Pen tool even after resetting preferences and uninstalling

I've recently downloaded adobe animate for the first time and I have been trying to use the pen tool to draw, however for some reason turning on object drawing mode makes the pen tool create a Shape instead of a Drawing Object. (So it acts exactly the same as if object drawing mode was turned off)

I checked all the other tools and confirmed that the object drawing mode functions properly for all of them.
I have tried resetting my preferences, re-installing animate, and going to earlier versions but nothing has worked.

I need to use the pen tool for a project I am working on and this glitch has made me unable to do anything.
